Ajeej Private Debt: bridging the capital gap for high-growth companies

Amplify Growth Partnership anchors Ajeej’s private debt strategy
Flexible financing for founders scaling in MENA’s fast-evolving markets

Ajeej Capital’s private debt capability, anchored by Amplify, offers minimally dilutive financing that empowers founders to scale without surrendering control. By blending local knowledge with institutional discipline, Ajeej creates structures that address the unique realities of MENA’s fast-evolving economies. For entrepreneurs facing conservative bank practices and equity-heavy funding rounds, this alternative fills an urgent gap in the financing spectrum.

This capability is especially significant in MENA, where structural barriers have left many growth-stage companies underserved. Ajeej Private Debt offers a bridge between banking and venture equity, enabling businesses to access financing that is flexible enough to fuel expansion while robust enough to meet institutional risk standards. This makes it an essential tool for advancing regional innovation.
