Algebra Ventures is an impact- and founder-first VC that focuses on backing bold, resilient founders building transformative companies in Egypt and wider Africa. The firm emphasizes long-term partnerships, operational support, and scaling infrastructure innovations (healthcare, education, financial inclusion, transportation, logistics) that can “impact millions of people in Egypt” — measuring success not only by financial returns but by people reached.

Egypt-based, Africa-focused investing across Pre-seed to Series B (emphasis on Seed and Series A), targeting infrastructure-oriented sectors such as healthcare, education, fintech/financial inclusion, mobility/transportation, logistics and other scalable services that improve people’s lives at scale.

Value Add

Founder-first approach: leadership explicitly prioritizes founder quality and long-term founder relationships (e.g., "The quality of the founder is really the number one thing. I am a firm believer in a founder-first approach to investing.").
Impact orientation: success measured by people impacted as well as returns ("Our success is not just measured in terms of returns we generate but are we able to impact millions of people in Egypt").
Stage expansion and hands-on support: moving from Series A focus to actively investing from Pre-seed/Seed up to Series B with emphasis on earlier rounds, and providing operational back-office support (PR, talent, CFO/fund management, portfolio growth).
Regional commitment with on-the-ground relationships: clearly Egypt-centered while actively investing in Sub-Saharan Africa and markets like Morocco (evidence of events, LP relations, and portfolio expansion).
Deep sector and operator experience on the team: partners and founders have prior operator and sector experience (healthcare, fintech, enterprise SaaS, consulting/McKinsey), which informs portfolio support and board roles.
