STV recently projected that MENA is poised to create 45 unicorns by 2030, presenting a $100b value opportunity to be unlocked through local IPOs. STV believes that its first fund will capture a significant part of this accelerating unicorn creation on the back of its investment in champions across sectors that are growing rapidly. STV has already made its mark as a top quartile emerging markets VC investor and a driving force behind innovation in MENA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olayan M. Alwetaid, group CEO at stc, mentions: \u201cThis further investment reflects stc\u2019s future vision and its significant contribution to the digital transformation and ambitious endeavors towards the digital economy in Saudi Arabia and beyond, as well as it deepens its focus on innovation and technological development in the Kingdom and widens the MENA\u2019s region support and growth from the ground up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al Wetaid added: &#8220;Our investments in STV since its launch have achieved great investment returns that were the main catalyst for doubling our participation today. In addition, we seek, through our comprehensive strategy, to provide support and motivation to leading digital companies with the aim of growth and expanding the scope of the group&#8217;s investments in modern technical sectors.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abdulrahman Tarabzouni, CEO at STV, comments, \u201cWe are proud of stc\u2019s vote of confidence by doubling down on STV. This investment is another milestone in STV\u2019s journey to build the tech investment platform of MENA. We believe the region has reached an upward tipping point and has emerged as one of the most attractive regions globally for venture investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879-1024x750.webp\" alt=\"\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc \u062a\u0636\u062e \u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631 \u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629 300 \u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646 \u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631 \u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629 \u0641\u064a STV 1_ssict_1200_879\" class=\"wp-image-37510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879-1024x750.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879-300x220.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879-768x563.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879-1080x791.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/\u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629stc-\u062a\u0636\u062e-\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0631-\u0628\u0642\u064a\u0645\u0629-300-\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0646-\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631-\u0625\u0636\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629-\u0641\u064a-STV-1_ssict_1200_879.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its start in 2018, STV invested in a portfolio of technology companies across many sectors in the Middle East and North Africa, with a core focus on whitespaces with a gap between digital supply and demand in traditionally large industries such as logistics, e-commerce, and fintech. In order to double down on this opportunity and support its existing portfolio startups, STV has grown its team to 20+ professionals from a variety of backgrounds, including technology, investments, and operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this additional commitment, STV looks to cement its position as the most active growth investor in the region and amplify its impact. In 2021, STV drove almost 60% of VC deployment in Saudi Arabia and its portfolio companies created thousands of direct jobs and close to 3 million gig jobs, on top of becoming sector winners that expanded across the region and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With venture capital deployment in MENA significantly increasing in recent years, Saudi Arabia is becoming the fastest-growing large VC market in the region with its venture capital market growing 244% YoY to $584m in H1 2022.
