In a strategic shift aimed at closing early-stage funding gaps, Flat6Lab has spun off its investment arm, F6 Ventures, under a newly formed entity known as F6 Group, designed to bring both capital and founder support under one roof.
With over $90 million in assets under management (AUM) across six funds and a track record of investing in 300+ startups, F6 Ventures anchors the F6 Group’s investment strategy focused on pre-seed and seed-stage ventures in MENA and Africa.
“F6 Ventures marks a new era in our journey,” said Dina el-Shenoufy, Co-Founder and General Partner. “We’re extending our commitment to early-stage startups to help them scale from idea to impact.”
Ramez El-Serafy, Co-Founder and General Partner, added:
“Over more than a decade, we’ve empowered thousands of founders… I’m excited to begin this new chapter with F6 Ventures, helping founders scale faster and drive the next wave of innovation.”
F6 Group now integrates two core units:
- F6 Ventures – the seed-stage VC arm targeting early-stage founders
- Flat6Labs – the region’s flagship startup accelerator, continuing to oversee incubation, programs, and ecosystem-building.
With operational headquarters in Cairo and regional offices in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Amman, Tunis, and Nairobi, F6 Ventures is aiming for $200 million in AUM and investments in 200+ companies over the next five years.
Under the leadership of CEO Dina el-Shenoufy and Chairman Hany Al Sonbaty, the unified F6 Group is aligning funding with hands-on support, offering both financial capital and programming infrastructure to boost startup success across emerging ecosystems.
Meanwhile, Flat6Labs, now under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Yehia Houry, continues its role as a leading programmatic engine for African entrepreneurs.
