Cairo Angels just launched a “Game Changer” for MENA and African startups

The Cairo Angels, a global network of angel investors focused on supporting startup opportunities  in Egypt, the Middle East and Africa, is delighted to announce the launch of the Cairo Angels  Syndicate Fund (the Fund), a micro venture capital fund that will invest in early stage startups in  the Middle East and Africa. 

The Fund aims to close and start investment in the first quarter of 2021 and will target startups that are pre Series A and looking to fuel growth and expand regionally. The Fund’s executive team, investment  committee and board will provide a unique value proposition and will leverage their expertise and  relationship capital in order to maximize impact with the investees.  

The Fund has already started fundraising and invites investors who are interested in this exciting  asset class to apply to join as a limited partner in the Fund. The Cairo Angels will be hosting an  information session about the Fund on November 16th.

“We are always looking  at ways to bring new ideas and innovation to our region and launching the Fund is the next step  in our evolution.
