Co-investment platforms are becoming a central mechanism through which institutional capital enters venture markets. By partnering with VCs, sovereign funds, and other investors, institutions are not only increasing access to capital but also influencing how deals are structured, evaluated, and scaled.
This session explores how co-investment models are evolving across MENA and other emerging markets, and what they mean for investors and founders alike. It will examine how institutional participation is impacting deal flow, alignment among stakeholders, and ultimately, venture outcomes; highlighting both the opportunities and the complexities of this growing approach to capital deployment.
