Nafoora Ventures

Nafoora Ventures is a community of angel investors, united in a mission to advance our MENA venture ecosystems through intelligent capital, strategic support to founders, and relationships with global innovation hubs. We focus on MENA-originated early-stage startups in three priority segments (healthtech, desertech, urbantech) and on international IP-rich ventures that are seriously committed to entering, scaling and diffusing new technologies through our regional markets. Headquartered in the GCC, we bring to the table a membership of locally-based, internationally-experienced angels and ecosystem builders, ready to offer hands-on industry expertise, strategic advice and mentorship, and well-positioned to open doors across our regional innovation networks.
