Foundation Ventures is a Cairo-based VC fund led by veteran Egyptian investors that positions Egypt's currency devaluation as a structural advantage, using the country as a cost-efficient testbed where startups can access superior tech talent cheaply before scaling regionally and globally. The firm differentiates itself by providing portfolio companies access to Egypt's largest enterprise network for customer acquisition and distribution, while also offering the unusual combination of seed-to-growth capital from one platform.
