Phoenician Funds

Phoenician Funds is a Lebanon-based venture capital firm headquartered in Beirut, focused on early-stage investments in technology companies operating in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region across fintech, e-commerce, enterprise SaaS, and adjacent high-growth technology themes. The firm's name references the ancient Phoenician civilisation (rooted in modern-day Lebanon and the Levantine coast), historically celebrated as one of the Mediterranean's earliest trading and commercial cultures. Phoenician Funds operates alongside Lebanon's other early-stage VC ecosystem participants (including Berytech, Leap Ventures, Cedar Mundi, and MEVP) in a market that has historically been supported by Banque du Liban's Circular 331 central-bank-backed venture-capital guarantee scheme (launched 2013) and has funded a generation of MENA start-ups. Detailed public information including precise AUM, named general partners, fund vintages, and current portfolio-company disclosures is not comprehensively documented in mainstream fund-manager databases for this specific URL, consistent with the discreet profile of mid-sized MENA VC vehicles; the row should be noted as Active but with limited public disclosure.
