  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.

We meaningfully partner with organizations to implement proven D.E.I.A. strategies unleashing the power of the entire talent pool into your organization, products, markets, customers, and communities.

Using a Neurodiverse Lens across the Enterprise allows companies to look at their current: policies, practices, products, services, and systems through the experience of a neurodiverse and disabled person. Through this lens, Beyond-Impact brings deep, personal, and business experience to build strategies and identify the systemic barriers blocking true diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We provide services touching upon the entire enterprise infrastructure, training your team to sustain more inclusive approaches, and changing the DNA of your office culture to be truly inclusive. Talk to us. We recognize the power of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (D.E.I.A.) and more importantly, we know neurodiversity and disability inclusion will give your company an even greater competitive edge. When we succeed in neurodiversity and disability inclusion, your company will have a more welcoming culture of equitable opportunities for all disenfranchised communities, and a better bottom line.
