Nabeel Koshak: Growing Saudi Arabiaâs venture market
Dr Nabeel Koshak, CEO of SVC
Saudi Arabia’s government has been especially proactive in encouraging its entrepreneurship sector, the result of which is a fast-growing startup landscape. As part of its Vision 2030 plan, designed to diversify the kingdom’s economy, several government-led initiatives have helped to increase access to funding, ease founder journey and attract global talent to the country.
One seminal initiative is the Private Sector Stimulus (PSS) initiative, under which Monsha’at launched the Saudi Venture Capital Company (SVC), a fund of funds with SAR 2.8 billion ($750 million) to invest. With its sector-agnostic approach and its focus on addressing investment gaps in the Saudi market, SVC has so far invested $239 million in 17 venture funds and a total of $31 million as co-investment across 63 startups, covering various sectors from logistics and education, to management services and entertainment.
