Cairo Angels

Cairo Angels is an Egyptian angel investor network and early-stage investment fund based in Cairo, Egypt, providing seed and pre-Series A capital to Egyptian and broader MENA-region technology startups that are building scalable businesses in one of the Arab world's largest and fastest-growing internet markets. The network was established to address the critical shortage of early-stage institutional capital in the Egyptian startup ecosystem and to provide founders with not just funding but access to an experienced community of Egyptian business leaders, operators, and entrepreneurs who can provide mentorship, introductions, and commercial support. Cairo Angels typically invests from $50,000 to $250,000 per round, making it one of the earliest institutional capital sources accessible to Egyptian founders before they graduate to dedicated seed funds or regional venture capital firms. Egypt's technology ecosystem has grown significantly over the past decade, driven by a young, increasingly connected population, a large domestic consumer base, and a government that has prioritized fintech, healthcare technology, and logistics as areas of strategic investment. Cairo Angels has invested in or supported companies across fintech, e-commerce, education, and logistics. Paymob, the Egyptian payments infrastructure company that provides digital payment solutions for merchants across Egypt and the broader MENA region, has received investment support from Cairo Angels. Odiggo is an additional portfolio company. Beyond its original investments in Paymob and Odiggo, Cairo Angels has backed multiple Egyptian early-stage technology businesses.
