ABOUT US

LEADING THE HYBRID VENTURE SINGLE FAMILY OFFICE MODEL IN MENA

Annex Investments is a multifaceted hybrid venture single-family office, strategically blending the patient capital and long-term vision of a traditional SFO with the dynamic, high-growth strategies of a venture firm. We actively build businesses, forge strategic partnerships, and shape the future of the MENA business landscape.

Our integrated approach is built upon four core pillars: Venture Capital, Joint Ventures/Strategic Partnerships, a proprietary Venture Studio and comprehensive Market Entry & Advisory services.

MISSION

To empower transformative businesses and drive sustainable growth in the MENA region by strategically blending patient capital, entrepreneurial expertise, and strategic partnerships.

VISION

To be the leading hybrid venture SFO in the MENA region, recognized for fostering innovation, building thriving ecosystems, and creating lasting value for our partners and portfolio companies.

Venture investments

Annex Investments provides early-stage funding for startups in the MENA region, offering hands-on mentorship and strategic guidance, and actively participating in our portfolio companies' growth from Seed to Series A. We seek founders with a compelling vision, strong execution capabilities, and a commitment to building scalable businesses. Our investments often align with our broader strategic objectives and offer potential synergies with our joint venture partners and internal ventures.

Hybrid Venture Studio

Our internal venture studio, is a key differentiator. We conceive, develop, and incubate our own ventures, addressing specific needs within our family office ecosystem and leveraging our existing resources and expertise. This "internal first, external later" approach allows us to de-risk ventures, validate business models, and refine go-to-market strategies before launching them to the wider market. These ventures often benefit from early adoption within our family office network and strategic partnerships forged through our JVs.

Joint Ventures/Strategic Partnerships

Annex Investments acts as a strategic bridge connecting international corporations with the dynamic MENA market. We forge mutually beneficial partnerships, leveraging our deep local market expertise, navigating regulatory complexities, and providing operational support for seamless market entry and expansion.

Market Entry & Advisory

Annex Investments serves as a trusted advisor and gateway for international companies seeking to establish or expand their presence in the UAE and the wider MENA region. We provide comprehensive market intelligence, regulatory guidance, and strategic advisory services, facilitating smooth market entry and integration. We connect businesses with key stakeholders, potential partners, and customers.
