Maza Ventures

Maza Ventures is a venture capital firm that focuses on backing highly technical teams developing global products. The firm is particularly interested in companies innovating in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Agentic SaaS, Enterprise Software, Advanced Computing, Biotechnology, and Robotics. They aim to be the initial investor for startups that are building solutions to global problems, emphasizing a commitment to supporting 'moonshot' ideas that can enhance human capabilities rather than solely focusing on financial returns.

Founded in 2025, Maza Ventures was launched by Tambi Jalouqa, a seasoned investor and entrepreneur. The firm's establishment follows Jalouqa's extensive experience in the startup ecosystem, including his previous roles as CEO and co-founder at Propeller and POSRocket (which had an exit), and as a curator at Xpand. Maza Ventures was created with a vision to provide early-stage funding and support to promising technical teams, particularly those originating from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, to help them scale globally.

While Maza Ventures is a relatively new entity, its founder, Tambi Jalouqa, has a notable investment track record since 2019. His previous investments include companies like Lawhive (Exit), Maqsam, Bith.tv, InvoiceQ, BusinessChat, Gameball, Bionl, Eqorefer, Corgea, Open.cx, Juleb, GamerG, Lablabee, Ginni.ai, Ampt, Cycle.app (Exit), Nowa, Keak, Pipeit, Biocortex, Stash, Guepard, Delta-flow, Upsonic, Taffi, Perceptr, Sinai.ai, and OTO. The firm itself has set a target size of $30 million for its first fund, with typical check sizes for investments expected to range between $200,000 and $500,000, targeting pre-seed and seed-stage startups.

The team at Maza Ventures is small but leverages a broad network, with Tambi Jalouqa serving as the Founder and General Partner. His background as a software engineer and his experience in building multiple products, including being the founding CTO of POSRocket, provide a strong technical foundation for the firm's investment strategy. Jalouqa's extensive experience in leading and investing in startups positions Maza Ventures to offer not just capital but also strategic guidance and operational value to its portfolio companies, fostering an environment where builders can thrive.
