Why We Exist

A gap between world-class founders and the capital that should be backing them.

The Problem

Most regional angel money is slow and disconnected from operational realities; global capital overlooks these markets entirely — or parachutes in without context.

The Solution

We are a bridge: between operator knowledge and early-stage capital, between regional ecosystems and global ambition.

Our Edge
01

Operators First

We've sat on both sides of the table. We pattern-match against lived experience, not checklists.

02

Regional Mandate, Global Exceptions

Core focus on MENA, Turkey, GCC, and Central Asia — open to global exceptions with structural ties to our markets.

03

Conviction-Driven

Deal-by-deal syndicate. We only bring opportunities to our LPs when we believe in them. No filler. No volume play.

04

Deep Network Ecosystem

Roots in Silicon Valley, Amman, Doha, Alchemist Accelerator, and our private angel investor community.

05

The Meaning of Turab (تراب)

Turab means soil in Arabic — the ground from which things grow. We are patient capital, invested in the soil of a region we believe in.
