The Hub71 global tech ecosystem in Abu Dhabi has introduced a brand-new platform aimed at boosting capital investment in technology firms, including startups from the region’s top family offices. In order to speed up deal flow, the new platform, called “Tech Barza,” targets local family offices for exclusive access to Hub71’s thriving network of nearly 200 entrepreneurs.
Tech Barza will facilitate access for technology companies and startups to connect with strategic investors that have sizeable portfolios with companies that could accelerate product-market fit and the ability to go-to-market.
Leading family offices at Hub71 invited to join the exclusive capital club will benefit from access to a suite of offerings including pitch days, joining investor networks, invitations to events and business forums led by Hub71’s strategic partner Mubadala Investment Company, in addition to setup support within Abu Dhabi Global Market, and access to Hub71’s programmes and VC partners.
Badr Al Olama, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Hub71, said, “With the launch of Tech Barza, we will not just support the economic growth of the region, but we will also bring diversity and inclusivity to family offices, removing the misconception of crowding out, and reinforcing the mission of knowledge sharing.”
Through its capital community of more than 20 VC and venture debt funds, startups at Hub71 are securing investment to grow sustainable ventures with impact from the UAE’s capital.
