Iraq Venture Partners (IVP) is a pioneering brand with a mission to advance the Iraqi ecosystem. They provide vital investment to early-stage startups in Iraq, aiming to fuel growth and innovation in the country. Despite explosive venture capital (VC) growth in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Iraq has historically faced limited funding opportunities.

However, IVP plans to change that. Led by General Partners Omar Al-Handal (The Station), Bassam Falah (Innovest Middle East), and Mohammed Khudairi (Iraq Tech Ventures), IVP will establish a new fund focused on investing in early-stage startups, from seed stage to series A. The fund will prioritize the innovation and knowledge economy in Iraq across various industries.

Investment opportunities will be shared among new startups and follow-on investments. IVP's General Partners are renowned names in the Iraqi startup ecosystem and have played a crucial role in Iraq's largest fundraising deals to date. They have also been instrumental in creating deal flow and nurturing talent in the region.

To support entrepreneurial endeavors, IVP partners with prominent organizations such as The Station, Baghdad's premier co-working space, which has facilitated the growth of numerous startups and offers entrepreneurial programs and training for Iraqi entrepreneurs. Additionally, IVP collaborates with Innovest Middle East, an early investor in Iraqi startups and the enabler behind Ruwwad Al Iraq (also known as IRAQPRENEURS), a key player in shaping the Iraqi startup landscape. Iraq Tech Ventures, another partner, has successfully coordinated fundraising rounds for Iraqi startups since 2018, attracting both local and international investors.
