Why attend

The venture capital story in the Mideast is young, but a raging one. Last year, we saw record venture capital funding going towards fintech, artificial intelligence, and enterprise software. And this year, we have seen the region’s first-ever VC secondaries fund come up, with Key Capital announcing a $50 million fund in partnership with SHUAA Capital.

But beneath these numbers, the industry is undergoing a whole host of changes. Basic parameters are evolving, and a new phase of maturity is setting in. There is also the Iran war that could introduce new filters in the industry and the overall fundraising processes. That’s our upcoming discussion with Basil Moftah of Key Capital. Over the years, Basil has served as a general partner at multiple funds in the Middle East and North Africa region, the most recent being Egypt’s Nclude and the UAE-based Global Ventures.Join us, as we talk to him about all things venture capital.

What to expect from a
TMC Private evening

TMC Private is built around one conviction: the best thinking happens in small rooms, not in large, impersonal conferences.

01
Personal

Our networking events are personal, intimate spaces designed for discussion and ideation. Never sit too far away from the action and look into your phone screen again.

02
Small

25 participants per event, maximum. You will not spend the evening exchanging business cards with strangers you’ll never speak with again.

03
Curated

Every attendee is a subscriber of The Morning Context. We exist to serve our readers. The discussion is moderated by the editorial team to ensure content takes precedence over everything else.

04
Leader-led

TMC Private events are led by speakers, subscribers of the Morning Context. These are founders, leaders of industry and top executives from the world of business & finance.

05
High Tea

Our hospitality extends beyond the discussion and includes food and drinks. Just so you can make the best of the two and a half hours of quality conversation.
