Together, they represent a bold evolution of the company’s 14-year journey, bringing sharper focus, expanded reach, and deeper capabilities to support founders and ecosystems across the Middle East and Africa.
F6 Group, a newly formed investment firm, has officially launched with $90 million in assets under management (AUM), aiming to support early-stage startups across the Middle East and Africa (MEA). The firm’s mission is to fill the funding gap for seed-stage ventures in the region by offering not only capital but also strategic guidance, mentorship, and operational support.
Founded by a team of seasoned investors and entrepreneurs with deep roots in the MEA startup ecosystem, F6 Group intends to leverage its collective expertise to identify high-potential founders tackling pressing regional and global challenges. The firm will focus on sectors such as fintech, healthtech, climate solutions, e-commerce, and enterprise software — industries seen as ripe for innovation and growth in emerging markets.
F6’s investment thesis centers on providing early capital to founders who might otherwise struggle to secure backing due to limited regional venture capital activity at the seed stage. By doing so, the firm hopes to catalyze scalable, impact-driven businesses capable of competing on the global stage. Beyond funding, F6 plans to offer portfolio companies access to a robust network of industry experts, market insights, and operational resources to accelerate growth and market entry.
The $90M AUM launch positions F6 Group as one of the largest dedicated seed-stage funds in MEA, underscoring growing investor confidence in the region’s startup ecosystem. This move comes amid a broader trend of rising venture capital interest in Africa and the Middle East, driven by a young, tech-savvy population, increasing internet penetration, and expanding digital infrastructure.
According to the firm, its approach will be founder-first, ensuring entrepreneurs retain creative control while benefiting from strategic alignment with investors. The group also emphasizes diversity and inclusion, aiming to back a broad range of founders from different backgrounds, including underrepresented groups in the tech and venture landscape.
By focusing on both financial returns and measurable social impact, F6 Group aims to become a catalyst for transformative change in MEA’s innovation landscape. With its substantial seed-stage war chest and ecosystem-focused strategy, the firm seeks to unlock opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs poised to redefine industries across the region.
