VCs are increasingly focusing on late-stage investments due to global market conditions and risk management.
Late-stage VC is about de-risked growth, targeting companies with proven product-market fit, revenue, lower risk, and potential liquidity through IPO or acquisition.
In MENA (Middle East and North Africa), the investing culture blends venture, private equity, and family capital, with a focus on wealth preservation and strategic interests.
MENA investors value relationships and trust, with capital often flowing towards established businesses and pre-IPO investments in growth-stage companies.
