Funding for tech projects: Best practices for the MENA region
summary
Region has active public capital and sovereign funds, and family offices provide roughly 70% of local VC-like allocations versus ~20–30% in the US. Typical fundraising cycles run about 12 months. Web3 wins on community and product traction more than big traditional cheques; revenue or clear collateral helps where risk appetite is low. Practical tactics: build a local presence, craft an ideal-investor persona, use personalized multi‑channel outreach and warm introducers, join accelerators and events, and prioritize a proven team and realistic valuations.
