Mena-based entrepreneur Tambi Jalouqa inaugurates Maza Ventures, an investment firm focusing on backing global software and deep technology start-ups from the Middle East and North Africa region.
New Seed Fund Maza Ventures Focuses on Middle Eastern and North African Founders
In a move that could significantly impact the venture capital landscape, Tambi Jalouqa has launched a new seed fund called Maza Ventures. The focus of this fund is on founders from the Middle East and North Africa, aiming to back software and deeptech startups with highly technical founding teams.
Jalouqa, a software engineer by training, brings a wealth of experience to the table. He spent over eight years at Amman-based pre-seed VC Propeller, where he led the firm as CEO for six years. During his tenure, he helped raise two funds and invested in companies like Maqsam (Jordan), Gameball (Egypt), Oto (Saudi), and Lawhive (UK).
Maza Ventures is not afraid to back moonshots, indicating a willingness to invest in ambitious and innovative projects. This approach aligns with Jalouqa's history of building multiple products, including serving as the founding CTO of POSRocket, a Jordanian POS startup later acquired by Foodics.
As of July 2025, there are no search results mentioning Maza Ventures, its focus, founding team, or funding status. However, given Jalouqa's impressive track record, it is likely that this new fund will make waves in the venture capital industry.
In addition to his work with Maza Ventures, Jalouqa has also co-founded Xpand, a major product and software event in Jordan. This event showcases his commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the tech community in the region.
With Maza Ventures, Jalouqa is poised to make a significant impact, investing in startups building globally relevant products in AI, enterprise software, B2B SaaS, biotech, robotics, and advanced computing. Keep an eye on this exciting new fund as it continues to grow and support the next generation of innovative founders from the Middle East and North Africa.
