Philosophy
Investing in the GCC region
With a broad base of technical, creative, and managerial talent and infrastructure, and the recent convergence of communications, entertainment, and computer industries, the GCC region has quickly evolved into one of the world's hotbeds of high growth activity. Our local presence and relationships allow us to provide companies with the support and resources that they need.
Leveraging Our Networks to add Value
Khazaen has an extensive database of “experts” to assist in the required due diligence process. Through a network of affiliate investors, the deep industry and professional relationships that we have cultivated, we are able to keep up with the latest trends and better evaluate prospective investments.
Forging Relationships with Regional Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs
By forming high quality, local business relationships, Khazaen has been able to tap into a depth of industry experience and wisdom. These resources are often very helpful in both evaluating new concepts and revising business strategies within our companies. Furthermore, these professional networks often prove to be quite useful in creating opportunities for strategic business relationships for our investments.
Helping Portfolio Companies to Develop Strong Management Teams
One of the most significant issues facing most mid-stage companies is grasping the proper high quality management teams to further help develop the business. Khazaen has played a key role in attracting highly regarded management to portfolio companies from within and outside the region.
Partnering with Other Quality Venture Capital Firms
The composition of the young GCC venture market is such that other local venture capital firms are typically regarded as partners, not competitors. Khazaen is one of the founding partners of the Gulf Venture Capital Association (GVCA) and has strong relationships with a number of GCC VC firms, as well as excellent contact with other VC firms throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Ensuring a steady flow of Investment Opportunities
Khazaen is distinguished by virtue of its high quality deal flow due to its in-depth and comprehensive database of clients and its involvement in GVCA. Hence, granting Khazaen access to exceptional investment opportunities in the region.
Maximize Return Potential through Capital Appreciation
Khazaen targets companies with potential for a profitable exit opportunity; thus, “exit” is planned before “entry”. Therefore, Khazaen capitalizes on its expertise to acquire stakes in companies at their late-stage allowing it to perform the necessary restructuring, assuring an opportunity to exit those ventures with a high premium.
