Abstract

B Capital, founded by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and former Bain Capital investor Raj Ganguly, is one of six venture capital firms planning to establish offices in Doha, Qatar. The Qatar Investment Authority will invest in B Capital through its fund-of-funds program, as part of a larger effort to attract global financial companies to the region. Qatar, along with other Middle Eastern countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, is leveraging investments by sovereign entities to develop its venture capital ecosystem and support local startups. The QIA, with over $510 billion in assets, is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, focusing on sectors such as technology, health care, digitization, and infrastructure.
