More than 220 investors are active in the Egyptian market, and among these, only ten have shown the ability to have a significant impact on the investment scene over time. The team at Tahrir Squared Partners looked at more than 220 active venture investors in Egypt — there is always an ongoing debate about how many local VCs are active in the country. Some say 5, others 10, others 25, but we chose to go with a slightly higher number to ensure we included all of the key players as well as investors operating on foreign soil — such as international VCs or Angels that invest cross border.
