On the occasion of Eid, I wanted to extend my warmest wishes to you and your families. I also recognise that this has been an unsettling time for many across the region and I hope that you and your families are all safe and well.
At moments like this, leadership is defined by steadiness, clarity, and care. What has stood out most over recent weeks is the resilience, composure and maturity shown across the community. It is a reminder of the strength that unites this region.
SC Ventures remains firmly committed to the Middle East – to the founders, partners, clients we work with in the region. Our portfolio companies continue to serve clients with focus and responsibility, staying close to their markets and adapting quickly where needed.
Our long-term conviction in the region is unchanged. The UAE and this region remain central to SC Ventures’ ambition and to our belief in its role as a leading global hub for fintech and innovation. This is reflected not only in the ventures we are building and scaling across digital banking, SME enablement, digital assets, financial inclusion, and AI-led innovation, but also in the ecosystem partnerships we continue to invest in. Most recently, our Middle East team and portfolio companies participated in a collaborative workshop with the Central Bank of the UAE at the EIF Innovation Hub, exploring the future of fintech and innovation in the country. Even in periods of uncertainty, our focus remains on supporting the ecosystem and contributing with consistency and long-term perspective.
Thank you for the continued trust you place in SC Ventures. We are here for you and remain committed to supporting you in any way we can.
Please do not hesitate to reach out at scventures@sc.com if there are ways in which we can support you during this time.
Wishing you and your families a peaceful and blessed Eid.
Gautam Jain, Operating Member, SC Ventures
