Cairo, Egypt – 5 August 2025 – F6 Group has officially launched its new investment arm, F6 Ventures, in partnership with Flat6Labs, to empower early-stage startups across the Middle East and Africa. This bold move builds on a 14-year legacy of supporting entrepreneurship and marks a strategic evolution in the Group’s approach to venture capital and founder enablement.
F6 Ventures, co-founded by Dina el-Shenoufy and Ramez El-Serafy, will manage six investment funds with over $90 million in assets under management (AUM). The firm is sharply focused on closing the funding gap in pre-seed and seed stages across emerging ecosystems in the region.

Headquartered in Cairo, with offices in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Amman, Tunis, and Nairobi, F6 Ventures is uniquely positioned to serve entrepreneurs across the region with localized support and deep market understanding.
Meanwhile, Flat6Labs, under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Yehia Houry, will continue to lead the region as a premier startup accelerator focused on founder support, innovation, and ecosystem building in emerging markets. With over 14 years of proven impact, Flat6Labs remains the region’s leading platform for startup programs and entrepreneurial empowerment.
Both F6 Ventures and Flat6Labs operate under the umbrella of F6 Group, led by Dina el-Shenoufy as CEO and Hany Al Sonbaty as Founder and Chairman. This unified structure combines venture capital and founder support programs under one platform — designed to accelerate innovation and unlock scalable opportunities across emerging markets.
Looking ahead, F6 Ventures plans to launch multiple new regional funds across the GCC, Levant, and Africa, with a goal of expanding its AUM to $200 million and investing in over 200 companies within five years.
F6 Group brings together venture capital and founder enablement to deliver unmatched access to capital, expertise, and support — turning visionary founders into market leaders.
