About
500 Falcons is a $33 million venture capital fund managed by 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups), focusing on early-stage investments in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Launched in 2017, the fund has deployed capital into over 175 startups across sectors like e-commerce, fintech, SaaS, and mobile technology. Some of its notable investments include companies like Fetchr, Jamalon, and Wuzzuf. The fund targets seed-stage startups, typically investing between $50,000 and $100,000 initially, with follow-on investments of up to $500,000 in top-performing companies. 500 Falcons aims to build a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in the MENA region by bridging the gap between local markets and Silicon Valley expertise, offering startups access to its accelerator programs and mentorship. Led by 500 Global partner Hasan Haider, 500 Falcons plays a pivotal role in fostering job creation and economic diversification in a region where over 60% of the population is under 25 years old. This effort is designed to transform economies traditionally dominated by large corporations and government entities into thriving, innovation-driven markets.
