Sonia Weymuller describes herself as an accidental outlier who built VentureSouq from an informal group of friends into one of the GCC's largest early-stage platforms with 180-200+ companies, giving her rare experience spanning both grassroots angel investing and institutional VC in MENA. She leads the VSQ Conscious Collective, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the region that brings together mission-driven investors to back technology companies solving social and environmental challenges, and pioneered a pan-regional Conscious Investor Fellowship to close the gap between traditional philanthropy and impact investing.
