The Osiris Group
Prince Abbas Hilmi's Hong Kong private equity platform bridging Middle Eastern family capital with Asian venture and growth-stage innovation.
The Osiris Group
The Osiris Group was founded by Prince Abbas Hilmi, a descendant of Egypt's last royal dynasty who has operated from Hong Kong for more than two decades. Rather than managing a disclosed single-family pool, the firm functions as a private investment platform that connects family offices and sovereign-linked investors from the Middle East with venture and growth-stage opportunities across Asia — a positioning that reflects Hilmi's own biography as a dual citizen of both regions. The firm deploys capital primarily through direct equity and structured co-investments in early-stage and growth-stage companies. Its disclosed focus areas span fintech, enterprise software, digital health, climate technology, and agri-tech — sectors where Asia-based startups had historically struggled to attract Middle Eastern LP interest before the sovereign wealth funds of Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia began expanding their venture programs. The Osiris Group typically participates in rounds ranging from seed to Series B, often investing alongside established regional venture firms rather than leading rounds. Geographic emphasis has centered on Greater China, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The firm maintains a deliberately lean operational footprint consistent with a family-anchored investment office rather than an institutional fund manager. Team size is not publicly disclosed, and the firm does not market commingled fund vehicles to outside LPs — suggesting the capital base is concentrated among a small number of close relationships. In recent years, Hilmi has spoken publicly about climate-finance opportunities in Asia, signaling an ongoing evolution in the firm's sector emphasis (per public record). The structural differentiator is the firm's role as a cultural and financial bridge. Most Middle Eastern capital flowing into Asian venture goes through large sovereign wealth funds writing $100M+ checks; most Asian family offices lack the relationships to access co-investment flow from Gulf LPs. The Osiris Group occupies the gap — a Hong Kong-licensed, prince-led platform that sources deals in Asia and underwrites them for a concentrated group of Middle Eastern families and institutions who trust Hilmi directly rather than a brand-name GP.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at The Osiris Group?
Prince Abbas Hilmi serves as Founder and CEO and is the named principal driving investment decisions. Hilmi is a descendant of Egypt's last royal family and has been based in Hong Kong for more than two decades, giving him direct access to deal flow across Greater China and Southeast Asia that most Middle Eastern investors cannot replicate. The firm's small team structure means investment committee authority is concentrated rather than dispersed across a multi-layered institutional apparatus.
How does The Osiris Group source proprietary deal flow?
The firm sources deals primarily through Hilmi's personal network across Asia's venture ecosystem, built over two decades of operating from Hong Kong. Rather than running a cold origination machine, the firm relies on relationships with regional venture capital firms, family offices, and founders who value the specialized LP base Hilmi can convene. This relationship-driven model distinguishes the firm from institutional platforms that use systematic outbound sourcing.
Is The Osiris Group structured as a single family office or a private equity firm?
The Osiris Group operates as a private investment firm rather than a pure single family office, though its capital base is concentrated among a small number of Middle Eastern families and sovereign-linked investors rather than a broad LP roster. The firm's Hong Kong-based structure and SFC regulation make it function more like an independent asset manager, but it does not market commingled funds to the public or maintain a diversified institutional LP base.
Does The Osiris Group participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm's primary deployment model is direct equity and structured co-investments in operating companies, often alongside established regional venture capital firms. There is no public evidence that the firm makes fund commitments as a limited partner. This direct orientation aligns with the preferences of the Middle Eastern families and institutions that form the firm's capital base, who typically seek named-asset exposure rather than blind-pool fund commitments.
What investment stages does The Osiris Group target?
The firm invests from seed through growth stage, with a disclosed focus on early-stage and venture-stage companies in Asia. Co-investments alongside regional venture capital firms typically fall within the seed to Series B range. The firm has not publicly disclosed a late-stage or buyout practice, though the flexibility of its mandate would not preclude participation in later rounds where existing relationships justify follow-on investment.
Which sectors does The Osiris Group explicitly focus on?
Disclosed focus areas include fintech, enterprise software, digital health, climate technology, and agri-tech — sectors where Asian innovation has been actively courted by Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds in recent years. The emphasis on climate technology and agri-tech reflects Hilmi's public commentary on Asia's role in the global energy transition and food-security challenges.
Where does The Osiris Group's underlying capital come from?
The firm's capital base is concentrated among family offices and sovereign-linked investors from the Middle East, with Prince Abbas Hilmi's own family relationships providing the anchor. The Osiris Group does not publicly name its limited partners, and no commingled fund vehicles or public regulatory filings have disclosed the specific identities of its capital providers. The capital is understood to be concentrated rather than widely syndicated.
