The new fund will target early-stage technology and tech-enabled startups, focusing on founders building scalable, high-growth businesses with strong market potential. Oasis500 said the strategy prioritizes companies capable of expanding regionally and competing globally, while supporting sustainable growth and long-term economic value.
The launch was announced during an ecosystem gathering attended by entrepreneurs, investors, and institutional partners from across the region.
“Oasis Ventures III is a direct investment in Jordanian youth and in promising companies capable of growth and sustainability,” said Suhair Ali, Chairwoman of Oasis500, describing the fund as a vote of confidence in Jordan’s entrepreneurial talent and the region’s early-stage pipeline.
Founded in 2010, Oasis500 was among the first dedicated seed investors in Jordan’s technology sector. Its model combines early capital with hands-on strategic support, offering mentorship, operational guidance, and access to regional networks to help startups scale while reducing early-stage risk.
Since its inception, Oasis500 has invested in 193 startups across multiple sectors. These companies have collectively secured more than $135 million in follow-on funding, with the active portfolio currently valued at approximately $243 million. Portfolio companies have also generated nearly 5,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Many of these startups now operate beyond Jordan, with a presence in more than 22 countries, reflecting a growing emphasis on export-oriented, scalable technology ventures.
Oasis Ventures III builds on three previous investment vehicles, including Oasis Ventures I (2010), a creative industries fund launched in 2015, and Oasis Ventures II (2019), which focused on startups that had already achieved product-market fit and commercial traction.
The new fund signals a renewed emphasis on earlier-stage opportunities, aimed at strengthening the pipeline of high-quality startups entering growth stages.
Originally established through the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, Oasis500’s investment strategy aligns with Jordan’s national priorities around innovation, youth employment, and digital skills development.
As regional venture capital becomes more selective, platforms that combine capital with operational support are playing an increasingly critical role. With Oasis Ventures III, Oasis500 positions itself to continue shaping Jordan’s early-stage ecosystem while building companies designed for regional and global scale.
