Mission Statement

As part of the Innovation Initiative announced by HRH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed a new pan Arab initiative is created;  

Middle East Business Angel Network (MBAN)

 modelled on the European Business Angel Network (EBAN) with the purpose of bringing together all stakeholders in the start-up ecosystem, including limited partners; venture capital, seed, and angel investors; incubators; legal, accounting, and support functions; as well as the entrepreneurs.Slide3

The Goals of the MBAN

Promote contact between entrepreneurs and investors across the region.

Promote an entrepreneurial culture in the region

that encourages risk-taking, acceptance of failure,

and celebrates business success.

Train, advocate and support potential business Angels and provide a platform for cooperation.

Remove bureaucratic and legal obstacles to entrepreneurship and angel investment.

Promote investments in SMEs as means to support positive economic and social impact across MENA.Slide4

MBAN Focus

MBAN will be focusing on improving the deal-flow and increasing the number of start-ups that are viable to get follow-up funding. In addition we will approach potential business angels to invest in these companies. Having a bigger deal-flow of viable startups in an organized way will stimulate a healthy investment environment and attracts business angels.Slide5

Assistance in start-up the BAN (share statutes of association, advises).

Launch meeting (in presence of the core BAN members, public authorities and institutions, actors of the ecosystem).

Assistance in organizing the first pitching session.

Conducting and setup of Angel Academies (based on EBAN model).Slide7

Advocate a favorable framework for private

early stage financing in MENA countries.

Production of papers (inventory of

regulations in MENA countries)

Individual meetings with national authorities.
