Investment Thesis

Acasia is fundamentally focused on backing exceptional founders and innovators who are willing to take risks and push boundaries. Founded in 2011 as the Cairo Angels, they believe in being ‘first believers’ outside of friends and family to support early-stage tech entrepreneurs. Their philosophy centers on long-term, hands-on partnership with founders, emphasizing that ‘the founders are at the heart of everything we do’ and committing to be ‘partners for life in this exciting journey, through thick and thin.’
