Flat6Labs, a venture capital firm, continues to grow after introducing F6 Group, which launched F6 Ventures, a new venture capital arm yesterday.
The Egypt-based F6 Group will be overseen by two significant arms: F6 Ventures and Flat6Labs.
Together, the companies yesterday said, they represent a bold evolution of the Flat6Lab's 14-year journey, bringing sharper focus, expanded reach, and deeper capabilities to support founders and ecosystems across the Middle East and Africa.
At the core of this transformation is F6 Ventures, the Group's dedicated venture capital arm to be managing six funds with over $90 million in assets under management (AUM) and a track record of 300+ companies invested into by the Partners.
F6 Ventures said in a statement it is focused on seed and early-stage investments in the Middle East and Africa, and that the company is positioned to become a market leader in seed-stage investing across emerging ecosystems, as it addresses a pressing funding gap at the most critical stage of startup development: the pre-seed and seed stages.
Co-founded by Dina el-Shenoufy and Ramez El-Serafy, the firm leverages F6 Group's extensive regional presence and legacy of empowering entrepreneurial talent, as well as the long-standing work of Flat6Labs to support visionary founders, scale tech-driven innovation, and create long-term value for stakeholders.
"F6 Ventures marks a new era in our journey, bringing focused capital and sharper execution to support the region's boldest founders." said Dina el-Shenoufy, co-founder and general partner at F6 Ventures. "We are extending our commitment to early-stage startups to help them scale from idea to impact."
According to the company, F6 Ventures is backed by the extensive regional footprint and entrepreneurial legacy of F6 Group and is headquartered in Cairo, with offices in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Amman, Tunis, and Nairobi.
Regional partners include Eyad Albayouk, Ryaan Sharif, Rasha Manna, Walid Triki, and Christine Namara.
This seasoned leadership team has decades of experience in venture funding, entrepreneurship, and market growth across the Middle East and Africa, the company said.
"Over more than a decade, we've empowered thousands of founders and helped bold ideas grow into market-leading startups. I'm excited to begin this new chapter with F6 Ventures helping founders scale faster and drive the next wave of innovation," said Ramez El-Serafy, co-founder and general partner at F6 Ventures.
Meanwhile, with the leadership of newly appointed CEO, Yehia Houry, Flat6Labs said its sharpening focus on founder support, innovation, and ecosystem growth across emerging markets.
Flta6Labs said: “Building on more than 14 years of proven impact, it remains the region's leading platform for world-class startup programs and ecosystem-building initiatives, deepening its mission to empower entrepreneurs and drive regional innovation.”
Looking ahead, F6 Ventures plans to launch multiple new regional funds across Africa, the GCC, and Levant, with a goal of expanding its AUM to $200 million and investing in over 200 companies within the next five years.
