A note from us.
Most of the world is told it's unfundable before it has built anything.
I have spent my career watching founders in Asia, Africa and the Middle East build extraordinary companies on a slither of the capital and a fraction of the network. The market was small once. It isn't anymore.
Capital57 is here to redraw that map. For founders it means we show up differently when we commit to them. For investors, we're using first-hand experience to bring about a new way of accessing alternative capital opportunities.
I do not have every answer. Nobody in venture does. What I know is the returns are hiding where the map is not looking, and the founders building there deserve capital that shows up seriously. If you are a founder in one of the 57 cities, I would like to read your story. If you are a limited partner, I would like to walk you through the thesis over coffee.
Thank you for being here.

One Manager.
Three Fund-of-Funds Relationships.
Capital57 operates as one venture and growth manager across Abeer Portfolio & Asset Management's regional Fund-of-Funds portfolio.
Capital57 maintains one management platform, one investment process, one governance framework and one global origination network. Its investment activity is then applied through defined native investment mandates and co-investment rights with Banyancrest, Wattlecrest and Palmcrest. This structure combines global consistency with regional relevance.
Capital57 maintains common standards across sourcing, underwriting, investment approval, portfolio monitoring, governance and risk management. Each FoF determines the regional parameters within which Capital57 deploys capital.
