Rasmal Ventures

Established in 2023, Rasmal Ventures is Qatar's first independent venture capital firm, focusing on technology-driven startups across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The firm primarily invests in Series A and Series B stages but also selectively participates in Pre-Series A and later stages. While sector-agnostic, Rasmal Ventures has specific competencies and interests in fintech, B2B SaaS, supply chain logistics, and artificial intelligence. The team boasts over 100 years of cumulative investing experience, navigating various economic cycles and supporting successful companies regionally and beyond. Rasmal Ventures launched its inaugural fund, Rasmal Innovation Fund I LLC, in June 2024, aiming to raise $100 million in investment commitments. The fund targets high-performance technology startups and scale-ups across Qatar, the wider MENA region, and internationally, with a strategic interest in sectors such as fintech, supply chain logistics, healthtech, B2B SaaS, and artificial intelligence. In February 2025, Rasmal Ventures received funding from Qatar Investment Authority's Fund of Funds program, marking the first fund to join the $1 billion venture capital program. This partnership underscores Rasmal Ventures' commitment to driving innovation and investment in the region. The firm's investment philosophy emphasizes active support and follow-on investments for its best-performing companies. Rasmal Ventures prides itself on being a hands-on investor, leveraging its strong institutional and corporate network in Qatar and the MENA region to help portfolio companies expand and grow their businesses regionally. The team has extensive experience in the MENA region, Europe, and North America, providing a robust network of connections and deep experience across different venture markets. This approach reflects Rasmal Ventures' dedication to fostering innovation and supporting the growth of technology startups in the MENA region.
