In this new episode of Tomorocco, I’m joined by one of the key players shaping the future of venture capital in the MENA region — Ali Mokhtar.Ali is the CEO and Managing Partner of Beltone Venture Capital, the VC arm of Beltone Holding — one of the largest and most established investment banks in the Middle East, listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange.He spent over a decade at Beltone, climbing the ranks from corporate finance to managing $1.4 billion in public equities across the region. Then, he made a bold pivot — joining the founding team of Talabeyah, a B2B e-commerce platform that was acquired just 18 months later by Egyptian unicorn MNT-Halan.In 2023, Ali returned to Beltone to launch its venture capital division.Since then, the venture capital practice led over 17 investments across Egypt, Saudi, the UAE and Morocco — deploying capital through a hybrid strategy that blends traditional VC bets with investments in tech-enabled SMEs.In this episode, we explore what excites him about Morocco, how he sees the region evolving, and where the next breakout opportunities could come from.SponsorThis episode is brought to you by Allo Garant, the trusted platform that helps international students find secure and comfortable housing when moving to France.
