Dubai-based early-stage venture capital firm, COTU Ventures, has closed its inaugural fund, raising a total of $54 million.

Targeted at supporting startups across the Middle East, COTU Ventures Fund focuses particularly on pre-seed to seed stages of development.

Led by founder and general partner Amir Farha, COTU Ventures aims to provide strategic investments and support to promising entrepreneurs in the region.

Established last year, the firm has been actively investing in startups across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with a primary focus on countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan.

The firm has already backed over 20 early-stage startups spanning various sectors, enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship in the Middle East.

Amir Farha highlighted the company’s inclination towards fintech and B2B software, noting important opportunities for growth and innovation in these areas.

However, the firm remains open to exploring investment opportunities across diverse sectors, leveraging its expertise and network to identify high-potential ventures.

Reflecting on the evolving investment industry in the region, Farha emphasized the importance of providing comprehensive support to startups beyond just financial backing.

Drawing from his experience at BECO Capital, where he was involved in early-stage investments, Farha recognized the need for dedicated support at the earliest stages of startup development.

At the firm, Farha and his team prioritize building strong relationships with founders, understanding their personal and professional journeys, and offering guidance on various aspects of business development. In promoting trust with entrepreneurs, COTU Ventures aims to become a trusted partner for startups as it scales the challenges of growth and expansion.

COTU Ventures’ limited partners include Lunate, Mubadala, Dubai Future District Fund, Arab Bank, Bupa KSA, as well as leading venture capital firms and family offices. The support from these partners emphasizes the confidence in COTU Ventures’ leadership and its potential to drive innovation and entrepreneurship in the Middle East.
