Investor in Washington, District Of Columbia

## About Openner

Openner is an early-stage venture capital firm with offices in Washington, D.C., and Cairo. It has invested since 2016 across North America and the Middle East, backing founders at the seed and pre-Series A stages.

The firm is generalist, prioritizing the founder over the market. First checks reach up to $500,000, and Openner typically leads the round and holds reserves for follow-on investments. It works closely with a small number of companies at a time.

After investing, Openner supports portfolio companies on product, hiring, and the path to the next raise. All deal sourcing is done in-house.

Its ecosystem includes Openner Global, a technology company running accelerator programs and building software for the Middle East. The Openner Institute offers free, hands-on AI education for engineers and executives, taught by industry leaders.
