  BECO Capital is a venture capital firm backing original thinkers building transformative technology companies across the Gulf region. With over $820 million in assets under management, the firm has invested with conviction rather than conformity since 2012, focusing primarily on the UAE and Saudi Arabian markets.

  BECO's early-stage platform spans four funds, targeting companies from pre-seed through Series A. The firm takes a sector-agnostic approach, underpinned by core investment themes in construction tech, fintech, proptech, consumer technology, AI and enterprise software.

  BECO's value creation approach centers on capital formation support, business development introductions, and thought partnership with founders. The firm is known for its high-conviction, low-volume investing approach, partnering selectively with founders and supporting them across key business inflection points.


  Since its inception, BECO has delivered nine exits, with notable portfolio companies include Careem, Property Finder, and Kitopi. The firm continues to serve as a driver in the Gulf's emergence as a globally recognized hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.

  Wist u dat slechts 5% van alle Venture Capital investeringen worden verstrekt aan gemende teams van mannen en vrouwen. Slechts 1% wordt geïnvesteerd in teams met alleen vrouwen en 94%(!) van de Venture Capital investeringen komt terecht bij teams met alleen maar mannen. Tegelijkertijd blijkt uit onderzoek dat diverse teams innovatiever zijn en beter presteren.

  Wij geloven in diversiteit, gendergelijkheid en eerlijke kansen. Wij investeren in vrouwelijke ondernemers omdat we met hen goede bedrijven willen bouwen, omdat hun talent beter benut moet worden, omdat wij hun natuurlijke partner zijn, omdat wij het netwerk hebben dat voor hen van belang is. Omdat het van belang is dat innovatie vanuit vrouwelijke ondernemers wordt gestimuleerd.

  Welkom bij Borski Fund. Heeft u een startend of groeibedrijf dat de potentie heeft om (verder) te groeien? En bestaat het team (mede) uit 1 of meerdere vrouwen, die het bedrijf leiden en ook aandelen houden in het bedrijf? Of heeft u een bedrijf dat gericht is op vrouwen? En bent u op zoek naar durfkapitaal? Dan willen wij graag meer van u, uw team en uw plannen weten.
