We are backing the next generation of top-decile venture funds

Our investment strategy is based on four core pillars

U.S. Focus

With supportive government policies and world-class infrastructure, the U.S. provides a solid foundation and fertile grounds for businesses to scale and thrive.

Emerging Fund Managers

The first few funds are when managers are optimizing for outsized returns to build their reputation and carried interest, not for management fees.

Ownership targets

We back funds that invest at Pre-Seed and Seed. These funds would follow a concentrated portfolio approach with high ownership targets and are valuation-disciplined.

Tech-Enabled Sectors

While maintaining an opportunistic approach to investing, we focus on specialists and thesis-driven funds

We are constantly looking for emerging managers with an operational track record, clear competitive edge, and a concentrated portfolio construction. We invest in new, early-stage venture capital funds that are difficult to find, evaluate and access.

In today’s climate, we seek to take advantage of the reset within venture and to participate in what we believe will be some of the most successful vintages for venture investing. We give access to our partners to a pool of top-decile funds that have an embedded layer of diversification to further mitigate risk.

Raida Daouk

Managing Partner

Raida started her career in banking before moving to the investment team of BY Venture Partner, a venture fund with offices in Beirut and Abu Dhabi. She quickly climbed the ranks within the company and ultimately became a Venture Partner. Recognizing a void in the market for personalized venture consulting services, Raida established Amkan Advisory, a boutique consultancy firm specializing in assisting family offices and high-net-worth individuals in identifying venture funds that align with their specific strategies. Furthermore, Raida successfully established and managed the venture arm of Bridge Capital Holding, a single-family office, overseeing the entire venture capital allocation. In response to the increasing demand from clients for emerging managers in the United States, Raida took the initiative to create Amkan Ventures, a fund of funds bridging LPs to markets beyond their reach.
