About MENA Moonshots
Established in 2018 and based in Dubai, MENA Moonshots invests
globally in strong businesses and the founders behind them.
Everyone asks whether your company will become a unicorn.
We ask a different question.
What’s your moonshot?
Companies are built, sold, and reinvented. Markets change.
Technologies become obsolete.
But the founder, the person making the decisions, building
judgement, creating relationships, and designing a life of meaning,
is the one asset that compounds forever.
At MENA Moonshots, we invest in companies as a first step. Our long
game is to invest in the people capable of building many of them.
People Before Patterns
We look beyond sectors, trends, and market labels. We focus on
the judgement, character, and ambition of the people building
the company.
Long Term Thinking
Companies evolve, strategies change,
and markets move. We back founders with the ability to learn,
adapt, and create value across different chapters.
Quiet Conviction
We invest selectively and with care.
When we believe in a founder and their direction, we are
prepared to think beyond the immediate opportunity.
Built on Trust
The strongest relationships are built
over time. We value openness, thoughtful conversations, and the
confidence to challenge one another when it matters.
Our Team
We work closely with the founders and businesses we back, bringing investment
experience, strategic perspective, and thoughtful challenge where it can create
meaningful value.
Our involvement is intentional, shaped around the needs of each founder and
company, and built on trust.
Our Portfolio
Each company here represents more than just an investment.
These are the founders we have backed, challenged, and built
with
through belief, action, and shared ambition.
