Number of Investors in Egypt

While the most active investors are local, the investor landscape has always been dominated by presence of more international investors, year on year since 2015.

It is interesting to note that in the past 6 years, international firms (beyond the region) have financed more Egyptian startups than regional VC firms.

The nature of business is different between incubators and accelerators vs. venture capital firms, as incubators and accelerators will invariably have a large number of portfolio companies while venture capital funds tend to participate in seed stage and growth stage funding.
