Leap Ventures will seek to make investments in companies meeting its investment objective which are considered to represent high growth opportunities and/or are otherwise considered capable of superior performance after an injection of capital.
In particular, investments will be made in companies that leverage the MENA Region’s strengths, solve emerging market problems, or have the potential to scale globally, or a combination of these attributes.
Leap Ventures will generally seek to make investments in companies within the technology and innovation space that are at the “growth” or “Series B Financing” stage. The Fund will generally seek to make investments, on a per company basis, in amounts ranging from US$5,000,000.00 to US$10,000,000.00. However, up to 10% of the aggregate Capital Commitments may be invested in companies within the technology and innovation space that are at a stage prior to the “growth” or “Series B Financing” stage.
The following criteria will apply in respect of any potential investment of Leap Ventures:
(a) the relevant company must be based in the MENA Region;
(b) the relevant company must be technology-enabled or innovation-led;
(c) the relevant company must be in the “growth” stage of its life cycle, having established a market presence and seeking to further commercialise its offering (or, if applicable, the relevant company may be at a stage prior to the “growth” or “Series B Financing” of its life cycle);
(d) the relevant company must be in a position to rapidly scale up its operations and grow regionally or into other emerging markets (or, if the relevant company is at a stage prior to the “growth” or “Series B Financing” stage, it must be considered to have the potential to rapidly scale up its operations and grow regionally or into other emerging markets).
Leap Management will be hands-on and very active. It will as a result look for entrepreneurs that listen and welcome help / advice from seasoned executives.
