Access: With the exception of the most sophisticated investors in the Middle East, access to private investment opportunities in the tech sector has remained limited. TechInvest, however, has pioneered a novel approach to granting such access.
Returns: Notably, we've witnessed the generation of substantial value, often amounting to billions of dollars, in a remarkably short time frame for investors fortunate enough to participate in the ascent of new technology leaders—companies like Uber, Palantir, Robinhood, Snowflake, and Coinbase.
Sample transactions: TechInvest has successfully completed substantial investments in collaboration with prominent US technology firms.
Institutional Relationships: Our firm boasts enduring and profound relationships with some of the most active and accomplished technology investors in the Western world. This has led to multiple successful transactions conducted in partnership with these esteemed investors.
Diversification Opportunity: Historically, Middle East investors have been under-allocated in the technology sector due to the following factors:
i) Limited access to exclusive US opportunities
ii) The relatively modest size of the sector within their domestic markets
iii) Overemphasis on other asset classes, such as real estate
Local Interface: TechInvest is committed to providing prospective investors with a more seamless experience, facilitating direct access to the executive management of target investments, while also enhancing transparency and accountability.
Functional Competencies: The partners at TechInvest bring significant expertise in principal investing, venture capital, investment banking, M&A, and the operation of next-generation global technology companies.
Relevant Experience: TechInvest possesses extensive experience in sourcing, evaluating, and executing private equity investments, both as principals and agents. Over the past two decades, our firm has fostered robust relationships with the Venture Capital and Private Equity communities. Our sector expertise spans technology, enterprise software, consumer internet, and media and telecoms.
Existing Relationships with Tech Companies and Captive Deal Flow: TechInvest partners have successfully concluded numerous transactions, fostering relationships with leading US tech investors. Additionally, we have facilitated GP investments, establishing a sustainable source of captive deal flow. Our strong relationships extend to Emerging Managers and their current operating platforms.
Proven Access to Capital: TechInvest boasts a trusted advisor status with top Middle Eastern investors, including leading SWFs and prominent merchant families and commercial operating groups.
