Oraseya Capital

The firm identifies Chairman Mohammed Al Zarooni and Partner Julien Plouzeau as its public-facing leadership. Day-to-day investment committee composition has not been disclosed. Oraseya operates within the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority structure, suggesting ultimate oversight is tied to DIEZ governance.

Oraseya is the venture capital fund of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), a government entity. This makes it a state-anchored investor whose mandate aligns with Dubai's economic development goals, particularly attracting and scaling technology startups within the emirate's free zones.

All disclosed activity points to direct venture investing from pre-Seed to Series B. The firm has not publicly reported any fund-of-funds allocations, LP commitments to external managers, or co-investment vehicles alongside other GPs.

SANDBOX is Oraseya Capital's five-month accelerator program for pre-Seed and Seed-stage technology startups. The program prioritizes investor-readiness, commercial exposure, and mentorship, functioning as both a pipeline for potential investments and a standalone ecosystem initiative.

The firm states it invests across sectors without naming specific verticals, covering pre-Seed through Series B. Its stated preference is for startups with an existing connection to Dubai or the UAE, emphasizing customer validation and founder quality over a particular industry thesis.
