About

Wamda Capital is a leading venture capital firm focused on fostering entrepreneurship in the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey (MENAT) region. Established in 2014 by Fadi Ghandour, the founder of Aramex, Wamda has invested in over 100 startups, including notable names like Careem, Souq, and Mumzworld. These companies have been critical in shaping the tech ecosystem in the region, with Careem being one of its standout exits following its acquisition by Uber. Wamda Capital’s investment strategy is sector-agnostic, with a particular focus on technology and tech-enabled businesses. The firm typically invests in Seed to Series A rounds, but it also has a flexible approach through its evergreen investment structure, allowing for both early-stage and opportunistic investments. Its portfolio spans industries such as fintech, e-commerce, and digital health, with recent investments in companies like Tabby (fintech) and Insider (AI-based marketing). Wamda is headquartered in Dubai and is well-known for its hands-on approach, working closely with founders to provide strategic guidance, network connections, and access to growth capital. They emphasize scalability and innovation, making them a strong partner for startups aiming to expand across the MENA region. Led by experienced professionals like Fadi Ghandour and Fares Ghandour, Wamda Capital provides not only capital but also deep regional expertise, making it a pivotal player in the MENAT startup landscape.
