Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, has formed a strategic alliance with Yas Investments, a prominent multi-family investment platform and fund manager. This partnership is designed to increase investor participation in the UAE’s growing venture capital ecosystem by connecting high-potential startups with private capital.
Yas Investments, investing through its vehicle Spartech Ventures, brings deep expertise in identifying and nurturing high-growth investment opportunities across regional and international markets. With a strong focus on innovation and economic development, the firm is well-positioned to help scale emerging businesses.
As family offices become a vital source of long-term capital, offering more than just funding by providing strategic input and industry-specific knowledge, this collaboration leverages Hub71’s Tech Barza platform. Tech Barza is an exclusive initiative that links regional family offices with over 300 startups from within Hub71’s thriving ecosystem.
Through this new partnership, Yas Investments will play a key role in:
- Enhancing investor engagement by offering strategic investment opportunities.
- Helping startups refine their product-market fit and scale their operations effectively.
- Opening doors to new regional and international markets.
- Developing tailored investor profiles for Tech Barza, enabling more precise and meaningful startup-investor connections.
Ahmad Ali Alwan, CEO of Hub71, emphasized the importance of this initiative:
“Driving investment and corporate deal opportunities is essential to fuelling startup growth. Through our Tech Barza family office network, Hub71 is creating new pathways that support Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading global tech destination.”
Yagub Alserkal, CEO of Yas Investments, added:
“Through this partnership, we aim to bridge the gap between family offices and high-potential startups, facilitating strategic investments that unlock value for both investors and entrepreneurs.”
Beyond capital injection, the collaboration is expected to promote ongoing mentorship and strategic support for startups. It also aims to help family offices explore corporate deal-making opportunities in tandem with financial investment, generating broader business potential and long-term economic value.
This alliance is a key step toward strengthening Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a global tech and innovation hub, while also supporting the UAE’s mission to drive a knowledge-based economy powered by entrepreneurship and private sector collaboration.
