Noor Sweid brings an unusual combination of experiences as a founder who scaled a family interiors business into the world's largest interior contractor with a billion-dollar dual listing on LSE and NASDAQ Dubai, then founded the Middle East's largest yoga chain before a PE exit, and later served as Chief Investment Officer at Dubai Future Foundation working on government technology policy. She has been investing in MENA founders for over 15 years and wrote a book documenting the region's entrepreneurial journey, while Global Ventures specifically targets the underserved Series B stage with $20-30 million checks for revenue-scale companies.

• Deeply interested in the rise of health technology and telemedicine to democratize medical access globally. A major focus is on healthcare inclusion and how digital platforms can transform medical delivery, much like financial technology did for banking. For instance, partnering with Helium Health to bring robust software and consolidated data systems to hospitals across emerging markets.
• Highly focused on the growth of the Middle East and North Africa technology ecosystem. Frequent discussions revolve around the thriving tech hubs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and the maturation of local entrepreneurship. A great example is examining the second generation of regional founders who are building new ventures following the success of established local giants like Careem.
• Fascinated by resilient business models and how changing global dynamics impact the future of work. The conversation often highlights the shift toward sustainable growth and remote collaboration rather than expanding at all costs. A specific example includes championing the idea of building camels rather than unicorns, meaning startups designed specifically to survive economic storms and market droughts.
• Dedicated to elevating female tech leadership and celebrating diverse founders. There is consistent praise for the United Arab Emirates emerging as an unexpected hub for women in technology and active support for female entrepreneurs reaching significant milestones. For example, publicly celebrating talented founders like Iba Masood for landing a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
