Egypt’s leading startup accelerator and early-stage investor, Flat6Labs, has announced a major restructuring of its operations with the launch of F6 Group, a newly formed umbrella organization that brings together its well-known accelerator alongside a fresh seed-stage investment arm called F6 Ventures. The move marks a significant evolution for the company as it strengthens its position in the Middle East and Africa’s fast-growing startup ecosystem.
Flat6Labs has long been regarded as the MENA region’s top seed and early-stage venture capital platform, operating accelerator and investment programmes across Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. After 14 years of supporting and investing in innovative founders, the company has reorganized to create a more unified structure that integrates venture capital deployment with hands-on entrepreneurial support.
At the heart of this restructure is F6 Ventures, the newly launched seed-focused investment firm that will manage funds dedicated to backing high-potential founders across the Middle East and Africa. Led by general partners and co-founders Dina El-Shenoufy and Ramez El-Serafy, F6 Ventures begins operations with six seed funds totaling more than US$90 million in assets under management (AUM). Together, the partners bring deep regional expertise and a strong track record, backed by a historical portfolio of over 300 invested startups.
“F6 Ventures represents a new chapter in our mission to empower bold and visionary founders across the Middle East and Africa,” said El-Shenoufy. “By bringing more focused capital and stronger execution into early-stage investing, we aim to support startups from the idea phase all the way to measurable impact.”
With the launch of F6 Group, Flat6Labs aims to enhance its ability to nurture startups while simultaneously providing the capital needed to help them scale, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of the MENA region’s entrepreneurial landscape.
