Paklaunch hosted Soumaya Ben Beya Dridje, Founding Partner Rasmal Ventures, at our webinar on 8th July, 2024. Our host was Saif Ali, Program Manager Orbit Startups.
Rasmal is first home-grown Qatari VC fund. The landmark initiative is aiming to reach USD $100 million in investment commitments. For its first closing of over USD $30 million, it includes a prestigious institutional investor, family offices and individual high net worth investors from across Qatar and the rest of the world.
The fund will target investments in innovative and high-performance technology startups and scaleups across Qatar, the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and internationally at pre-Series A, Series A and Series B stages. While the fund will scout all technology sectors agnostically, it will have a strategic interest in climate and energy tech, fintech, supply chain logistics, B2B SaaS and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
