Jabbar is a legendary Dubai venture capital firm focused on growing technology companies, founded by Samih Toukan and Hussam Khoury — the entrepreneurs behind Maktoob (acquired by Yahoo, 2009) and early investors in SOUQ.com (acquired by Amazon, 2017). Jabbar focuses on growth-stage digital businesses in e-commerce and fintech.
Jabbar's investment portfolio reads like a hall of fame of MENA tech — Maktoob, SOUQ.com, Opensooq, and more. The firm invests $2M–$5M in growth-stage technology companies with strong regional traction and global ambition.
With two of the most significant exits in MENA tech history, Jabbar brings unparalleled credibility and operational experience to portfolio companies, along with deep networks spanning Silicon Valley, MENA, and global technology markets.
