VentureSouq completed fundraising for its second financial technology investment vehicle, establishing stronger leadership within the Middle East and North Africa venture capital markets. The Gulf Cooperation Council firm secured backing from prominent institutional investors, including Jada Fund of Funds, Saudi Venture Capital Company, Saudi Awwal Bank, Mubadala Investment Company, and Jordan's Innovative Startups fund. Strategic partnerships with Takamol Holding and Krafton strengthen the fund's regional foundation. Early-stage companies across payments infrastructure, alternative lending, digital banking, property technology, and insurance technology will receive investment priority. Personal financial management platforms also qualify for funding consideration.

Portfolio achievements demonstrate the firm's investment expertise through successful companies like Tabby's buy-now-pay-later services, Huspy's real estate platform, and Yassir's super application. Salla empowers Saudi Arabian merchants through e-commerce solutions, while Mozn delivers artificial intelligence risk management tools. Forbes recognized VentureSouq among 2024's leading Middle Eastern venture capital organizations. Industry projections estimate 35 percent annual revenue growth for regional financial technology companies through 2028, surpassing global benchmarks. The first specialized fund supported over 40 startups across five countries.
