Over time, the firm expanded its geographic reach to include Dubai and the broader MENA region, evolving its brand and network maturity within the venture capital and tech communities. The founding partners bring extensive operational experience, which informs their hands-on approach to portfolio support. The firm is currently raising its fourth fund, reflecting growth and adaptation amid challenges in the VC industry[1][4].
