At SIROC, we believe early-stage founders deserve a better path than giving up large chunks of their company before they’ve even found product-market fit. Instead of pushing traditional pre-seed or seed VC routes, we offer an alternative.
We work closely with a select group of founders to move fast, execute with precision, and accelerate their journey toward a strong Series A. All while helping them retain more ownership and control. With over 15 years of startup-building experience, a powerful network, and deep operational expertise in scaling, we deliver what truly drives impact in the early stages.
VC funding can be a valuable chapter, but it doesn’t have to be the first one. At SIROC, we reject the spray-and-pray model in favor of hands-on collaboration with a few high-potential founders. And we’re all in on making each one a success.
SIROC is for founders who think differently. We give you the unfair advantage you need to accelerate, scale, and ultimately succeed.

Founded in 2013, SIROC initially emerged from a personal quest into Dubai's investment landscape. As our investments grew, this led to a natural evolution that paved the way for a more structured and professional approach to venture investing on a global scale.
In 2020, we decided to move our headquarters to Europe, which marked a transformative shift towards global expansion. This transition was supported by a significant allocation of capital towards strategic acquisitions and investments in leading-edge technology companies in Europe, the US and the Middle East.
Today, we operate as a fully integrated venture platform, bridging Corporate Innovation (SIROC Digital), Venture Building (SIROC Labs) and Venture Capital Investments (SIROC Ventures).
Our mission goes beyond capital. We strive to turn bold ideas into successful ventures. Not just by providing capital, but by offering our expertise as seasoned entrepreneurs, drawing on the experience of our in-house product, design and development teams, and leveraging our networks in startup hubs like San Francisco, London, Madrid, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dubai and beyond.
We are your Partner in Venture Creation.
