MULTI-DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT
At Shorooq, we adopt a fresh approach to venture capital, investing in founders as early as the idea or pre-seed stage. Our value-focused strategy is unique to our ecosystem and, combined with deep regional knowledge through locally-embedded partners, enables us to identify and nurture high-potential founders and startups.
With a meticulous deal-making process, we seek out exceptional outliers—those founders with the potential to become the most successful leaders in their industries. This comprehensive and thoughtful approach ensures that we not only support innovation but also help shape the future landscape of the Middle Eastern startup ecosystem.
BEDAYA FUNDS
