Sadara Ventures operates as a pioneering venture capital firm, specifically targeting and investing in the Palestinian IT sector. It provides essential capital and strategic guidance to early-stage, high-growth technology and services companies, aiming to cultivate world-class enterprises from Palestine’s entrepreneurial landscape.
Co-founded in 2011 by Yadin Kaufmann and Saed Nashef, the firm emerged from a shared insight: the Palestinian IT sector possessed significant entrepreneurial talent but lacked dedicated venture capital. Kaufmann, with regional VC experience, partnered with Nashef to address this critical funding gap and foster local innovation.
The firm primarily supports ambitious Palestinian entrepreneurs leading technology startups across internet, mobile, and software domains. Sadara Ventures’ vision is to deliver strong financial returns for investors while playing a pivotal role in developing a vibrant, sustainable, and knowledge-based economy within Palestine.
Sadara Ventures has 3 tracked investments across 3 companies. The latest tracked deal is $14.0M Series B in Freightos in September 2015.
