Global Ventures is a Dubai-based venture capital firm founded in 2018, focusing on early-stage investments in growth companies across the Middle East and Africa. The firm targets globally scalable enterprise technology companies, investing in low-valuation markets and enabling the scale-up of young companies into global markets, thereby realizing multiple expansion as well as revenue growth. The region’s young venture industry capitalizes on the youth bulge in the regional population, where 50% of the 400 million population is under 25 years old, as well as the highest digital penetration and social media usage globally, on a per capita basis. In particular, Dubai has become an innovation hub in emerging markets, with access to 3 billion people in a 6-hour flight radius, serving half of the world’s economies, and specifically the rising billion. Global Ventures leverages the youth demographic, access to talent, and low valuation multiples to identify high-potential, globally scalable companies and enable their expansion through active and strategic investments into the companies.
