Falak Startups, one of Egypt’s leading startup accelerators, has entered into a strategic partnership with Sanad Partners, a private investment office with a diversified portfolio and venture-building expertise.
The collaboration, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), is designed to support entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable business growth in Egypt and the wider MENA region.
The agreement combines Falak’s expertise in accelerating early-stage startups with Sanad Partners’ institutional investment capabilities, creating a pathway for ventures to transition from fledgling ideas to scalable, sustainable businesses.
“This collaboration extends Falak’s commitment to founders beyond acceleration,” said Hazem El Dakroury, managing director of Falak Startups. “Working with Sanad Partners allows us to ensure that promising startups continue receiving the guidance, resources, and network support they need to thrive beyond their early stages.”
Extending support beyond acceleration
Bahi Hassan, CEO of Sanad Partners, said his firm was committed to creating long-term value by supporting the next generation of high-growth enterprises.
“Our partnership with Falak strengthens the pipeline between early-stage innovation and institutional investment, enabling founders to scale with discipline and ambition,” he said.
The partnership will launch joint programmes and investment vehicles aimed at accelerating startups and scaling small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Both organisations plan to co-design initiatives focused on investment readiness, operational excellence, and governance development, providing founders with the tools and expertise to transform early-stage ventures into sustainable enterprises.
Strengthening the national entrepreneurship landscape
In addition, sector-focused investment vehicles will be established to deploy capital into high-potential companies while simultaneously contributing to broader ecosystem development.
Beyond capital deployment, the collaboration will foster connections between founders, investors, corporates, and policymakers.
Shared events, mentorship programmes, and knowledge-driven ecosystem activities are central to the effort, aiming to create a more cohesive and supportive environment for entrepreneurs across Egypt and the MENA region.
By combining Falak Startups’ acceleration experience with Sanad Partners’ investment and venture-building capabilities, the partnership seeks to provide a comprehensive support system for founders, positioning Egypt as a hub for high-growth, sustainable enterprises.
Talking Points
The partnership between Falak Startups and Sanad Partners is a significant step in strengthening Egypt’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, combining early-stage acceleration expertise with institutional investment capabilities.
This collaboration ensures that startups receive not just initial support but ongoing guidance, mentorship, and access to networks that can help them scale sustainably and attract investment.
At Techparley, we see how initiatives like this can bridge the gap between innovation and capital, enabling founders to turn early-stage ideas into high-growth ventures with real economic impact.
The focus on co-designed programmes addressing investment readiness, operational excellence, and governance equips startups with the tools to build professional, scalable businesses rather than short-term projects.
Sector-focused investment vehicles further enhance the initiative by channeling capital into high-potential companies, while simultaneously supporting broader ecosystem development.
As the partnership scales, it has the potential to position Egypt as a leading hub for innovation and sustainable enterprise in the MENA region, demonstrating how strategic alliances can catalyse long-term economic growth.
