Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals · Dubai
Aurora Ventures platforms and invests in women founders in emerging markets, backing the businesses that are overperforming relative to the capital they've received → ✷ We invest at pre-seed and seed across MENA, Africa, and Latin America, with ticket sizes up to US$300K, built on four years of sourcing through the Aurora Tech Award, one of the world's largest pipelines of early-stage women founders outside traditional venture networks, with 3,400 applications from 127 countries in 2025. ✷ Beyond capital, portfolio companies get targeted introductions, operational support, and access to future funding. Aurora is built around how women build and what they build for. ✷ Our anchor backer is inDrive, a global unicorn that reached that status competing against platforms that were earlier, bigger, and better-funded. Backing Aurora Ventures is a natural extension of that story. 🔗 If you're a woman founder building in emerging markets, apply for funding.
