Oasis500

Oasis500, Jordan’s startup accelerator and early-stage investor, launched its fourth fund, Oasis Ventures III, with a size exceeding USD 20 million.

The fund targets early-stage tech and tech-enabled startups. It focuses on founders building scalable, high-growth businesses with clear market potential.

The strategy prioritizes companies capable of expanding regionally and competing globally. It also aims to support sustainable growth and long-term economic value.

The launch was announced during an ecosystem gathering that brought together entrepreneurs, investors, and institutional partners from across the region.

According to Oasis500, the new vehicle reflects continued confidence in Jordan’s startup talent and the region’s early-stage pipeline.

“Oasis Ventures III is a direct investment in Jordanian youth and in promising companies capable of growth and sustainability,” said Chairwoman at Oasis500 Suhair Ali.

Founded in 2010, Oasis500 was among the first dedicated seed investors in Jordan’s technology sector. Its model combines early capital with hands-on strategic support.

Beyond funding, the platform provides mentorship, operational guidance, and access to regional networks. The goal is to help startups scale faster and reduce early-stage risk.

Previous Funds

Since inception, Oasis500 has invested in 193 startups across multiple sectors. These companies have collectively secured more than USD 135 million in follow-on funding.

The active portfolio is currently valued at around USD 243 million. Portfolio companies have generated nearly 5,000 direct and indirect jobs.

Many of these businesses now operate beyond Jordan, with a presence in more than 22 countries. The expansion reflects a growing focus on export-oriented, scalable technology ventures.

Oasis Ventures III builds on three earlier investment vehicles. These include Oasis Ventures I launched in 2010 and a creative industries fund introduced in 2015.

The firm’s third fund, Oasis Ventures II, launched in 2019. It focused on companies that had already achieved product-market fit and commercial traction.

The new fund marks a renewed focus on earlier-stage opportunities. It aims to strengthen the pipeline of high-quality startups entering growth stages.

Oasis500 was originally established through the King Abdullah II Fund for Development. Its investment approach aligns with national priorities around innovation, youth employment, and digital skills.

As regional capital becomes more selective, platforms offering both funding and operational support are gaining importance. Oasis Ventures III positions Oasis500 to continue shaping Jordan’s early-stage ecosystem while building companies designed for regional scale.
