Plus VC Targets 40 Startup Deals in 2026 as Saudi Pipeline Grows

Early-stage investor Plus VC plans to fund more than three dozen startups in 2026, with a view toward deals in Saudi Arabia as the country cements its position as a regional venture capital hub.

The firm, which has backed more than 250 startups across 15 countries in the Middle East and North Africa, expects to increase capital deployment to about $10 million from $4.5 million this year, according to Hasan Haider, founder and managing partner.
