Yango Group, based in Dubai, has launched a new $20 million corporate venture fund called Yango Ventures.
The fund will focus on supporting early-stage startups in emerging markets, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, which have strong startup growth potential but also face economic challenges.
Yango Ventures plans to invest in startups from seed stage to Series B, with a focus on sectors like fintech, B2B SaaS and online-to-offline ventures. They believe these areas offer great opportunities for growth, especially in emerging markets.
The fund aims to do more than just provide capital. They’ve set up an advisory board with experts in areas like fintech, AI and mobility, offering strategic advice, market insights and mentorship without taking control or pushing for board positions.
