Overview
Istithmar World Ventures was formed in late 2007 as the venture and growth capital investment firm of Istithmar World, the investing arm of Dubai World. We aim to invest in rapidly growing businesses, primarily operating in dynamic, knowledge-based industries.
The firm has unique access to the expertise, global network and proprietary investment opportunities of Dubai World, a diversified holding company owned by the Government of Dubai.
Istithmar World Ventures follows a disciplined, return-oriented investment approach. We focus on two distinct yet complementary investment styles:
- Investing directly in late-stage venture and growth companies
- Investing indirectly by sponsoring specialized equity funds
