Our Unique Approach

Mentoring and strategic guidance
  • Active Member Participation: Members don't just write checks—they become actors in the deals they invest in, providing hands-on mentorship, strategic guidance, and opening their networks to portfolio companies.
  • Weekly Investment Committees: We run investment committees every week where members are invited as observers, providing transparency into our deal flow, due diligence process, and investment decisions.
  • Lead Investor Model: Each deal is guided by a dedicated mentor-investor who brings not just capital but deep operational expertise and strategic guidance throughout the company's growth journey.
  • Mentoring at Scale: Members share their expertise through structured mentoring programs, helping founders navigate challenges in fundraising, internationalization, product development, and scaling operations.
  • Diaspora Power: We leverage the global experience, networks and capital of successful Moroccan entrepreneurs across Europe, North America, and beyond.
  • Give-Back Spirit: Our community is built on paying it forward—experienced entrepreneurs opening doors and sharing lessons learned with the next generation of Moroccan founders.
