VentureSouq (VSQ) stands as a prominent venture capital fund manager rooted in the MENA region yet with a global perspective. Our focus lies in managing thematic funds, with a current emphasis on FinTech and ClimateTech, driving forward innovative solutions for the future.
As thesis-driven partners, we collaborate closely with exceptional entrepreneurs, championing their vision and commitment to creating lasting impact. Beyond investments, VentureSouq takes pride in its role as a pivotal member of the MENA entrepreneurial ecosystem, investing heavily in education, content, and programming to foster growth and development.
One such initiative is the Conscious Investor Fellowship, the first regional impact investing program launched in collaboration with esteemed partners including NYU Abu Dhabi’s startAD, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa), Hub71, the United States Mission to the UAE, and Wa’ed Ventures. Our Fellows, senior-level decision-makers from diverse backgrounds, benefit from a comprehensive curriculum aimed at nurturing conscious investment practices, with each cohort boasting 50% female representation.
Furthermore, we co-organize Angel Rising, an annual investor symposium in partnership with startAD, the global startup accelerator of NYU Abu Dhabi. This symposium has emerged as a leading platform, uniting global and regional thought leaders to delve into the intricacies of technology-enabled venture investment. With over 90 speakers, 2900 participants, and a digital reach extending to 11 million people globally, Angel Rising continues to serve as a catalyst for informed investment decisions and impactful collaborations.
