Investment thesis

BY Venture Partners invests early in category-creating or market-leading startups, with a focus on marketplaces, platforms, and AI-enabled business models. The firm is default-global with roots in MENA, spreading investments roughly equally across MENA, the US, and Europe. Its partners are all former founders who work alongside portfolio founders from first day to exit, providing empathetic support, network access, and domain expertise. A diversified LP base of operating companies spanning hospitality, construction, and luxury retail supports its founder-first approach and global reach.
