A Fireside Chat with Soumaya Ben Beya Dridje, VC Rasmal Ventures

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).
