Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP)

Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP) is one of the largest and most established venture capital firms in the Middle East, with a focus on investing in early and growth-stage technology startups across the GCC and Levant regions. Founded in 2010, MEVP manages over $300 million in assets and has invested in more than 60 startups, many of which operate in sectors such as fintech, e-commerce, mobility, SaaS, and healthtech. With offices in Dubai, Beirut, Bahrain, and Riyadh, MEVP targets innovative companies that have the potential to scale regionally and globally. Their portfolio includes successful companies like Anghami, the first legal music streaming platform in the Arab world to go public, Nana, a leading online grocery delivery service, and Bykea, a Pakistani super app offering transport and delivery services. MEVP offers both financial backing and strategic support to help these businesses grow, focusing on building sustainable, scalable models that align with local market needs.
