As 2024 comes to a close, MENAPT startups have rewritten the narrative on venture capital, proving that bold investments still thrive despite market shifts. With $10.18B raised across 932 deals, funding volume surpassed 2023’s $9.69B, even as deal counts dropped—showing that investors are doubling down on fewer, high-growth companies.
This year, AI and deep tech dominated, with G42 securing $1.5B from Microsoft, while Quantix Technology, Telegram, Pathfinder, and Nostromo Energy landed game-changing rounds. Meanwhile, pre-IPO funding and debt financing surged, signaling a maturing market ready for its next big leap.
