Investment thesis
Annex Investments positions itself as a hybrid venture single-family office, merging the patient, long-term capital orientation of a traditional SFO with the high-growth strategies of a venture firm. Its model rests on four pillars: direct venture capital investment, joint ventures and strategic partnerships, a proprietary venture studio that actively builds businesses, and comprehensive market entry and advisory services. The firm emphasizes actively building companies, forging partnerships, and shaping the future of the MENA business environment.
