About

Nama Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital fund based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, focused on fueling innovation across the MENA region, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Founded by Mohammed Alzubi, the fund is committed to nurturing early-stage technology startups with a strong emphasis on team-based ventures over solo founders. Their portfolio includes notable investments like PIESHIP in logistics, palm.hr in business productivity software, and Brev.dev, an AI and ML platform recently acquired by NVIDIA. Nama Ventures emphasizes supporting startups from pre-seed to seed stages, often leading funding rounds and providing strategic guidance to help ventures grow and realize their potential. They have invested in 47 companies, achieving several successful exits, including the acquisition of Brev.dev by NVIDIA. The fund recently launched a $27 million fund to further invest in MENA startups, with some allocations for Silicon Valley-based ventures through strategic syndication partners. Nama Ventures' investment strategy is centered around fostering technology innovation and supporting startups with complementary skill sets in their founding teams. For startups looking to approach Nama Ventures, it's crucial to demonstrate a robust team dynamic, innovative technology, and the potential for significant impact and growth within the targeted markets. The leadership team, including Mohammed Alzubi, brings extensive experience from Silicon Valley, offering a wealth of knowledge and a strong network to support portfolio companies in achieving their goals and scaling their businesses effectively.
