Dear Founders, Entrepreneurs, Co-investors, LPs, Media, and Friends,

Global VC funding entered a sharp recovery in 2024, driven primarily by AI-related investments. In the MENA region, the ecosystem began its rebound in Q1 2025, with $1.5 billion raised—led by marquee rounds such as Lendo’s $680 million financing.

Innovation remains at the heart of our strategy. Since our last newsletter, MEVF IV has backed nine outstanding companies, and six more deals have closed so far in 2025. These portfolio leaders are digitizing high-impact sectors: Payments, Banking, Meal Plans, Lending, Investments, Real Estate, Health, and Business Processes.

We’re also thrilled to announce the final close of our fourth regional VC fund, MEVF IV, at $XX million—anchored by a $27 million commitment from the European Investment Bank. This fund will empower Series A and Series B tech startups across MENA to build fundamentally strong digital businesses and generate new employment opportunities.

Looking ahead, we remain confident in the upside for the rest of 2025 and feel privileged to partner with founders who are driving growth in the digital economy.

Warm regards,

Team MEVP
