TrustList summary

Iliad Partners operates as a venture capital fund manager headquartered in the UAE, investing in early-stage technology companies across the MENA region. Its team, made up of former entrepreneurs and operators with regional and global experience in business development, investment and growth strategy, says it takes an active, hands-on approach to help founders expand into new markets and scale across MENA and beyond. The firm invests in B2B technology start-ups supporting digitisation and the growth of large corporates through localised solutions, focusing primarily on Saudi Arabia and the UAE at Pre-Series A and Series A stage, within fintech, proptech and logistics. It looks for scalable, post-revenue companies with founders who have already reached product-market fit and are ready to expand cross-border into the GCC and, in some cases, into Europe. The firm also selectively backs European start-ups, particularly from Greece, seeking to enter MENA, and works with a base of family-group limited partners across the Gulf to support portfolio companies with revenue generation, partnerships and market entry.
