Cabrit: empowering early-stage founders through Ajeej Venture Capital

Conviction-led investing with hands-on support
Helping entrepreneurs navigate scaling challenges in MENA

Cabrit, Ajeej’s dedicated venture capital arm, exists to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs in MENA. Its philosophy is that founders need more than money; they need belief, guidance, and access. By walking the journey with entrepreneurs, Cabrit differentiates itself as a long-term partner that offers stability and strategic clarity.

Portfolio companies span fintech, gaming, blockchain, and digital identity. Each faces unique challenges: regulatory uncertainty, scaling across borders, and talent acquisition. Cabrit provides founders with governance support, access to Ajeej’s networks, and strategic input that allows them to navigate these hurdles while retaining their independence.
