Job description

About the platform

A long-established, evergreen investment entity backing entrepreneur-led technology companies from seed through Series A across MENA, Türkiye and Pakistan. Over 100 investments to date, multiple billion-dollar outcomes in the portfolio, and a strong exit history including regional trade sales to global acquirers. Its evergreen structure removes the pressure of a fund clock — the team can hold winners, back founders repeatedly and move opportunistically across sectors and geographies. Typical cheques run from a few hundred thousand dollars at pre-seed up to eight figures in later rounds alongside international co-investors.
