🚀 Investing in the boldest female founders in emerging markets. I run Aurora Ventures, where we invest exclusively in women founders at pre-seed and seed stage across MENA, Africa, and Latin America. Aurora started as the Aurora Tech Award, built to find and platform the women builders that venture capital was missing. Somewhere along the way, platforming them wasn't enough, so we started investing. Our motto: if the table isn't built for you, build a new one. And that's what we're doing with Aurora, building a new standard of Venture Capital around how women build and what they build for. Let's talk: 💡 Female founder in emerging markets? Apply for investment from Aurora. 🤝 Investor or partner? Let's connect. 📩 DM me, always up for working with great people.
Leading Aurora Ventures, investing in women founders in emerging markets. ⚡️ Our thesis is that women founders in emerging markets are a consistently undercapitalised, over performing investment opportunity. We're investing at pre-seed and seed across MENA, Africa, and Latin America with cheques up to $300k.

🎤 One woman. One story. One moment. In each episode of Day I, we focus on one woman sharing her story — answering the question, “What was a moment you backed yourself?” These aren’t the big, flashy moments we often associate with success. Instead, these are the quiet, ordinary moments that can have a profound impact — whether it’s leaving a bad partner, quitting a job, or making a decision that shifted everything. Day I isn’t about the highlight reel of extraordinary achievements. It’s about the real, raw moments where women chose to back themselves, to trust their gut, to take the leap. It’s about telling stories that resonate with all of us and showing that sometimes the most powerful changes happen in the small, everyday decisions. Tune in, and find the courage to back yourself in your own way
