Dubai-based Middle East Venture Partners has closed additional $65 million in commitments for its latest fund, Middle East Venture Fund III (MEVF III), MEVP revealed in its annual newsletter today. It includes a $10 million commitment from Bahrain-based recently launched $100 million Fund of Funds, Al Waha.
The commitment by Al Waha, according to MEVP’s newsletter was made in September last year. The firm, following the commitment by Al Waha, has also opened an office in Bahrain.
“With Al Waha’s commitment, MEVP aims to further invest in Bahrain’s entrepreneurial ecosystem as it provides a fertile environment to test our new ideas and technologies which can further expand to regional markets and scale globally,” the firm noted in the newsletter.
“For example, one of MEVP’s portfolio companies, Eat App is a Bahraini startup, fast becoming the leading restaurant reservations SaaS platform, in the MENA region. With accelerators such as Flat6Labs, Brinc, C5, and other, MEVP believes that Bahrain provides a similar strong pipeline for potential startups for investment,” it added.
