MENA’s startup ecosystem is navigating a dynamic phase, with venture capital activity revealing both challenges and opportunities. In the first nine months of 2024, MENA’s venture capital (VC) market recorded $1.3 billion across 352 deals, reflecting a 13% drop in funding compared to the previous year, according to MAGNiTT. Despite this dip, funding for non-MEGA deals—those under $100 million—grew by 7%, signaling sustained interest in early-stage startups and a vote of confidence in the region’s entrepreneurial potential.

I help entrepreneurs launch and grow businesses and help investors raise and deploy capital. I am also a TechStars Mentor and a budding angel investor.
Founders, raising capital, particularly a priced round, is hard and can take a long time. Once you've found an investor, negotiating terms and closing the deal doesn't have to be. More than 80% of Series A financings use the National Venture Capital Association model legal documents as their starting point. Familiarize yourself with standard terms so you understand how they ultimately impact control of your company and your economics in an exit. Check out the guide to negotiating VC term sheets in the "Featured" section of my LI profile page for tips from me and more than a dozen VCs.
Early-stage startups are raising bigger rounds – but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Today’s median early-stage startup raises $2.2M, up from $1.5M in 2020. One reason founders are raising more: The extra cash helps mitigate uncertainty surrounding their next round. New data from Carta shows: -Significantly fewer startups are graduating from seed to Series A in 2 years. In 2020, this was as high as 40% of startups; today just 15% raise in that timespan. -The median seed-stage startup now spends ~200 days longer between primary financings (priced seed to Series A) than they did in 2019. At Kyber Knight Capital, we’re here to help founders navigate these challenging times. In this fast-evolving fundraising environment, it’s critical to focus on business fundamentals and prepare your startup for longer runways. #Startups #VentureCapital #VC

pre-seed = PRE-revenue #startups if you are pre-seed and pre-revenue, make certain you are pitching to organizations which do not expect revenue. #venture investors, don't accept/request meetings from startups if they are pre-revenue and you expect revenue. There is a HUGE opportunity for venture funds to focus on pre-seed/pre-revenue startups.
