Vennre Unlocks Wealth Tech Opportunities in MENA

Vennre is revolutionizing the concept of wealth creation for the underserved high earners in the MENA region. Ziad Mabsout, co-founder and CEO, explains that the platform is designed for individuals earning six-figure incomes who want their money to work harder than they do. Unlike ultra-high-net-worth individuals who rely on private banking teams, these “Henry’s” are underserved by traditional financial institutions and lack access to private market opportunities such as venture capital, private equity, and real estate. Vennre addresses this gap by curating and vetting these opportunities and making them accessible via a mobile app, enabling users to systematically build private portfolios aligned with their wealth objectives.

The platform recognizes that one size does not fit all. Each investor has unique circumstances, and Vennre crafts personalized wealth journeys, combining wealth coaching with structured portfolio construction rather than ad hoc deal-by-deal access. From day one, Ziad Mabsout, along with co-founders Anas Halaby and Abdulrahman Malik, focused on creating a regional solution for individuals who cannot access institutional services. Saudi Arabia represents a key market for Vennre, with over a million potential users fitting this underserved profile. Local governance is central to the company’s strategy, exemplified by Dr. Ibrahim Almojel, former CEO of SIDF, joining as chairman of the Saudi entity to ensure regulatory and operational alignment.

Vennre differentiates itself by offering pre-IPO venture capital deals that are de-risked, starting at Series B, with entry-level investments as low as $5,000. This approach allows investors to engage with opportunities that were historically inaccessible and manage risk through carefully structured allocations. The platform provides a full suite of investment tools, including consolidated portfolio management, cash flow tracking, and performance metrics, giving individuals insight into projected returns over the medium to long term.

The company also bridges regional and global markets. While investors in Saudi Arabia gain access to curated global opportunities, foreign investors can participate in regional projects like real estate and private equity. This dual flow enhances foreign direct investment into the MENA region while expanding the investor base for high-quality local opportunities. Beyond simple access, Vennre emphasizes the creation of a holistic wealth ecosystem where fractional ownership, portfolio diversification, and Sharia-compliant offerings coexist within a personalized investment journey.

By combining wealth tech innovation with regulatory compliance and local expertise, Vennre is transforming access to private market investments. Over the next five years, the company aims to expand its portfolio of curated opportunities and continue enabling financially empowered individuals to systematically grow their wealth through informed, structured, and accessible private market participation.
