Investment thesis
Jabbar Internet Group is built by the founding team behind Maktoob (acquired by Yahoo in 2009) and Souq.com (acquired by Amazon in 2017), two of the region's most notable technology exits. The firm positions itself as one of the leading investors in internet and technology companies in the MENA region, embracing entrepreneurs willing to innovate and take risks. It nurtures early-stage founders and supports nascent ideas aligned with its mission, drawing on the operational experience of its founders to mentor and back startups in the region and internationally.
