Startup Hustle Middle East

What does a VC 2.0 look like? Arif Saiyad, founder and CEO of ASA ventures, started out with a mere 250 Euros from his dad to exiting several businesses and being involved in more than 100 ventures. ASA Ventures, a VC firm based in the UAE, was started to make compelling ideas happen, and to give founders the tools to best execute their idea - through operational support and expertise. Now set to launch something that will disrupt traditional ecommerce in emerging markets, with the launch of ZON in 2020, this VC firm is set to make some serious waves in the region and beyond.
