Venture capital firm
Plus VC Management Limited
Plus Venture Capital (+VC) is an Abu Dhabi-based venture capital firm that invests in early-stage technology and tech-enabled startups across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and its global diaspora. Founded in 2020 by investment veterans Sharif El-Badawi and Hasan Haider, the firm employs a high-frequency, diversified investment strategy that aims to back 120 companies per fund cycle. The firm typically serves as the "first money in," taking an active leadership role with founders at the seed stage to establish solid operational foundations. +VC focuses on sector-agnostic technology applications that address large market inefficiencies, particularly in fintech, healthtech, and enterprise SaaS. The team leverages extensive experience from past roles at 500 Startups and Google to provide portfolio companies with strategic mentorship and access to a broad international investor network.
