Keiretsu Forum MENA Partners with FinBursa to Modernize Startup Investing Across MENA

The partnership combines Keiretsu Forum’s strong investor network and startup expertise with FinBursa’s technology platform, making the investment process more efficient, transparent, and easier to manage.

Keiretsu Forum connects promising startups with angel investors, family offices, venture capital firms, corporate investors, and institutional investors across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The organization is expanding its presence across North Africa and the GCC through entrepreneurship programs in Morocco, investor engagement initiatives in Qatar, and growth plans in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Through its network, advisory services, and partnerships, Keiretsu helps startups become investment-ready and gain access to funding and business connections.

As part of the partnership, Keiretsu has adopted FinBursa’s platform across its entire investment workflow. The platform brings all key activities into one system, including startup applications, deal management, secure data rooms, investor relationship management, investor portals, and fundraising tools. This replaces the need for multiple disconnected tools and helps streamline operations for investors and startups alike.

“The quality of our deal flow has always been our signature. FinBursa gives us the backbone to deliver that quality at every touchpoint — from a startup entering our pipeline to an investor committing. It is exactly what our advisory practice needed,” said Mahmood Jassim, Board Member of Keiretsu Forum MENA.

“Keiretsu Forum is the kind of organisation FinBursa was built for — where the investor experience is the product. Seeing them run their full deal lifecycle on our platform, with AI across every stage, strongly validates where private markets infrastructure is heading,” said Ismail Badereldine, CEO of FinBursa.
