Spring Studios
We’re Spring Studios, MENA’s first fintech-focused venture studio, backed by Al-Waha Fund of Funds (Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund) and part of the globally renowned venture capital firm network, Hambro Perks.
Having spent many years working alongside and investing in founders in the region, we’ve lived their experiences. We know that founding great startups in MENA is an incredible opportunity, but not one without challenge. Spring Studios is here to change the game – discover emerging founder talent and equip them with an unfair advantage through our global platform and network.
Through Hambro Perks, we’ve built up a huge investor, institutional and mentor network, and the knowledge of how to build and identify successful technology businesses. Our track record includes MENA’s Oryx Fund, the recent $100m DIFC Venture Debt fund, and over 140 portfolio companies globally to date.
Spring brings together the power of this network, the support of Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, and expert in-house product builders to provide a truly unique offer to founders – helping create and develop new startups which are investor friendly by default, and setup to succeed.
In short – we truly believe Spring Studios will build, invest in, and scale some of the best startups MENA has seen so far.
