With offices in Dubai, Riyadh, and Mumbai, the firm specialises in alternative investments and active portfolio management across venture capital, private equity, and hedge fund asset classes. Alarabi focuses on supporting ambitious MENA-based startups delivering change, value, and societal impact across the Gulf region and beyond. The firm targets early and growth stage companies in technology, healthcare, renewable energy, fintech, AI, blockchain, and data science, deploying $100,000 to $500,000 per deal at seed and Series A stages with a total ticket of $1 million to $5 million per investment over a 3-to-5-year horizon. Portfolio companies include Nala Health (clinics and outpatient services) and Coded Minds (educational software).

Alarabi's investment philosophy centres on fostering entrepreneurship as a driver of economic growth and social progress across the MENA region. The firm takes a stage-agnostic approach within its core geographies, backing founders at the point where strategic guidance and capital can most meaningfully influence company direction. Its DIFC regulation and multi-city presence across the Gulf and South Asia provides portfolio companies with credibility and access across some of the world's fastest-growing emerging markets.
