SVVI is MENA’s dedicated gateway to Silicon Valley venture capital – built for the AI era.

We invest in top-performing US VC funds and selectively co-invest in the breakout startups they back to capture the value of technology, especially AI. We believe AI will drive more technological progress in the next decade than the past century, and that venture capital is the best strategy to capture that value.

Our fund-of-funds platform and direct deals are built for this opportunity: concentrated, selective, and anchored in proprietary data, research, and relationships. We back top-decile managers with a proven ability to identify foundational technologies early, then secure access and terms that would otherwise be out of reach, delivering institutional-grade exposure and returns to MENA-based investors.

With SVVI, you’re not just investing in the future, you’re plugged into the ecosystem building it.
