DAI invests in seed and early-stage technology companies with high growth potential. We are a fully-capitalised member-managed investment company made up of more than 100 power angels. We are passionate about entrepreneurs and teams that can take their ideas from proof of concept to traction to scale to exit with drive, energy, laser-focused determination and ambition. Together, we leverage our collective experience as well as our extensive network of contacts to add value to our investees through our ability to open doors and to mentor them. As initial investment, DAI typically deploys between $100,000 to $250,000 in our portfolio companies but our members can, and frequently do, personally co-invest alongside DAI. Total investment amounts can therefore range from $100,000 to $3,000,000 in a first round. We always look for opportunities to co-invest alongside established venture funds with whom we have close relationships. We are happy to act as lead investor where appropriate or required. Integral to our strategy is to double-down on our star performing portfolio companies by participating in the Series A or bridge rounds. We have already undertaken 8 follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies including 4 at Series A. We are very sector agnostic. As long as you are engaging with your customers via proprietary technology and you have a capital-efficient vision to scale the business, we will consider investing in your company.

Dubai Future District Fund is Dubai’s venture capital fund of funds and investments platform.

BECO Capital is a venture capital firm backing original thinkers building transformative technology companies across the Gulf region. With over $820 million in assets under management, the firm has invested with conviction rather than conformity since 2012, focusing primarily on the UAE and Saudi Arabian markets. BECOs early-stage platform spans four funds, targeting companies from pre-seed through Series A. The firm takes a sector-agnostic approach, underpinned by core investment themes in construction tech, fintech, proptech, consumer technology, AI and enterprise software. BECOs value creation approach centers on capital formation support, business development introductions, and thought partnership with founders. The firm is known for its high-conviction, low-volume investing approach, partnering selectively with founders and supporting them across key business inflection points. Since its inception, BECO has delivered nine exits, with notable portfolio companies include Careem, Property Finder, and Kitopi. The firm continues to serve as a driver in the Gulfs emergence as a globally recognized hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
