Sukna Ventures is a Riyadh-headquartered early-stage venture capital firm and venture studio focused on accelerating digital transformation across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Founded in 2012 by an investment team with backgrounds in technology, engineering, and cross-border finance, the firm focuses on empowering entrepreneurs to create value at all stages of building and growing their companies. Its investment strategy relies on a hands-on operational approach, backing startups from pre-seed to Series B that leverage cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep tech to solve sector-specific market failures. Domiciled in Saudi Arabia with a regional presence across the UAE and Egypt, Sukna Ventures targets defensive, vertical-tech Moats in high-growth ecosystems, building corporate connections that link Gulf corporate networks to scaling technology champions in North Africa.
