As the first half of 2024 concluded, the MENAPT venture capital landscape experienced a modest increase in total deal value, rising from $423.7 million in June 2023 to $497.1 million in June 2024, representing a 17.3% increase. However, the number of deals signed dropped significantly, from 111 in June 2023 to just 55 in June 2024, reflecting a sharp 50.5% decline.
