About
Ibtikar Fund, based in Ramallah, Palestine, is a venture capital firm dedicated to supporting innovative Palestinian startups. Established in 2015, the fund focuses on early-stage investments, primarily targeting tech and tech-enabled companies that demonstrate scalability and serve regional or global markets. Ibtikar aims to bridge the gap between local accelerators and larger venture capital firms by investing from seed to Series A rounds. The fund has a strong focus on Palestinian entrepreneurs, both within Palestine and the broader MENA region. Its portfolio covers a range of sectors, including healthtech, AI, and enterprise applications, with notable investments in companies like Mashvisor (real estate analytics) and Alma Health (digital healthcare for chronic conditions). Ibtikar also emphasizes co-investment, partnering with international funds to provide its portfolio companies with broader growth opportunities. Led by a seasoned management team, including partners like Habib Hazzan and Ambar Amleh, the fund actively supports startups beyond just financial backing, offering mentorship, business strategy, and networking opportunities. Ibtikar is committed to making a positive impact on the Palestinian economy while generating strong financial returns. Their dual commitment to both financial success and societal impact, particularly through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, positions them as a key player in the Palestinian entrepreneurial ecosystem.
