Corporate Venture Building as a Growth Engine

Egypt just proved something MENA has talked about for years: venture reporting can be standardized at ecosystem level: common definitions, cadence, and core metrics, so founders report once, LPs can compare portfolios consistently, and the market can publish credible benchmarks. In this case study, the speakers will unpack the playbook and pressure-test how to replicate it in KSA and/or the GCC: what the “minimum viable standard” should include, how to govern data-sharing and confidentiality, what incentives get rival funds to align, and how to run a 90-day pilot with a working group of GPs/LPs to ship KSA Core Metrics v0.1, turning transparency into faster capital, smarter decisions, and a stronger regional venture brand.
