Investor Profile: DisrupTech Ventures — Thesis, Cheque Size & How to Apply

Cairo-based DisrupTech Ventures is Egypt's specialist fintech venture capital firm. Founded in 2021, it launched a $36 million first fund to back early-stage fintech and fintech-enabled companies, and it has since become one of the most closely watched investors in Egypt's financial-technology ecosystem. For founders asking how to get funding from DisrupTech Ventures, the answer starts with regulation: this is a fund built by people who have already built and operated regulated financial companies in Egypt.

Investment thesis

DisrupTech Ventures backs founders it describes as daring, with impact at the core and execution excellence at the forefront. The thesis has widened from pure fintech into adjacent infrastructure: financial infrastructure, financial services, and strategic sectors such as agriculture technology, health technology and education technology where fintech intersects with a real economy need.

Sectors and stages

The firm invests at pre-seed, seed and Series A stage, principally in Egypt, with portfolio activity also tracked in the United States and Morocco. Its core remains fintech infrastructure and financial services for underbanked populations, including consumer credit, insurance, investment tools, banking rails and microlending, alongside fintech-enabled digital services.

Fund size and cheque size

Its first fund is $36 million. Reported cheque sizes run from around $250,000 in early tranches up to $2 million, with a reported average total commitment of around $1.2 million per portfolio company. A second fund has been discussed in trade coverage but had not been finalised at the time of writing, so founders should confirm which vehicle is investing before assuming terms.

Notable portfolio

The portfolio's best-known name is MNT-Halan, which became a unicorn and expanded into Turkey and Pakistan. Other names include Khazna, which serves underbanked Egyptians with mobile financial services, Brimore, a distribution-technology platform, BanknBox and Connect Money, which digitise core banking operations, and Mozare3, i'SUPPLY and Sprints in agriculture, health and education. It also reports an 8.5x cash-on-cash exit through Fatura.

Partners and team

DisrupTech Ventures was founded by Mohamed Okasha, formerly managing director at Fawry, Egypt's first fintech unicorn, Malek Sultan, a finance specialist, and Yehia Abou Elwafa, formerly chief investment officer at MNT-Halan Investments. Backers reported for the fund include the International Finance Corporation, Proparco, which committed $5 million, AXIAN Group and Egypt's MSMEDA.

Programs run

DisrupTech Ventures does not run a published accelerator cohort. Its programme is portfolio support itself: hands-on guidance on strategy, finance, regulation and hiring, plus introductions to follow-on investors,

Credits and perks

No published credits or perks programme was found for DisrupTech Ventures. Its most valuable perk, on the evidence of its portfolio, is operator help with regulated financial products rather than a standard software-credits bundle.

How to apply for funding

No public application form was found on the firm's official site. Founders should approach through disruptechventures.com or through a warm introduction from its network, leading with regulatory readiness, unit economics and a credible path to serving underbanked customers. A recent example of its current taste is Sinai.ai, an AI-native reading platform whose $1.45 million pre-seed round DisrupTech Ventures co-led in April 2026.
