Plans for a new Iraq venture fund have been announced by some of the Iraq ecosystem’s pioneers, Omar Al-Handal (The Station), Bassam Falah (Innovest ME, Ruwwad Al Iraq), and Mohammed Khudairi (Iraq Tech Ventures), who will serve as the fund’s General Partners.

Iraq Venture Partners (IVP) will invest in early-stage startups, from seed stage to series A. The fund will focus on the innovation and knowledge economy in Iraq, across several industries. Investments will be shared between new startups and follow-on investment.

The IVP General Partners boast some of the leading names in the Iraq startup ecosystem, having participated in Iraq’s largest fundraising deals to date. They also have been integral in using their organizations to help establish deal flow and cultivate talent:


The Station

The Station, Baghdad’s premier co-working space, has been home to hundreds of startups and routinely hosts entrepreneurial programs and training for Iraqi entrepreneurs. The Station has recently set up Mosul’s first co-working space and has plans to launch in Basra.


Innovest Middle East

Innovest Middle East was one of the earliest regional VCs to enter Iraq, investing behind some of the most promising Iraqi startups as well as establishing Ruwwad Al Iraq (aka IRAQPRENEURS), one of the key active enablers in the Iraqi startup space.


Iraq Tech Ventures

Iraq Tech Ventures was the first to coordinate a fundraising round of its kind in an Iraqi startup in 2018. Through its syndicate of investors, it has raised millions of dollars for Iraqi startups and brought both local and international investors into the Iraqi startup ecosystem.
