Syndicate Lab is a hands-on home for serious investors across MENA — learn the craft, co-lead real deals, and grow from your first cheque to running your own syndicate. We don't just teach it; we do it with you.
The Syndicate Lead Program founding cohort is open · 6–10 seats, genuinely capped
Syndicate Lab grows with you — from your first investment to leading your own deals. The founding program is open now; more are on the way.
Co-lead and close your first real syndicate — a real deal, real LPs, a live SPV — in a 12-week program plus about a month to close, with Mohamed beside you the whole way.
Explore & apply →Break into venture the smart way: learn to read deals, build a portfolio, and invest as an LP alongside experienced leads — your on-ramp before you lead.
Be the first to know →An invite-led circle for accredited investors who want direct access to the high-conviction deals our leads and community co-lead.
Register interest →It's a simple idea wrapped in a little structure — and it lets you invest in, or lead, startup deals without raising a fund.
Finds a deal, does the work to understand it, and decides to back it.
One clean vehicle is set up to pool everyone's capital for this deal.
Investors join the deal alongside the lead, each backing the SPV.
The SPV makes one investment; the startup sees a single, clean cap-table line.
Most people who want into venture never get there — not for lack of money or ambition, but because no one shows them how.
Syndicates changed that. Yet almost no one in the region knows how to actually run one. Syndicate Lab is the missing bridge — practical, partnered, and built around doing the real thing, not just learning about it.
Founder & CEO of Syndicate Lab, Mohamed bridges capital and dealflow across markets. He has led the close of a syndicate into a US-based tech company, supported 250+ emerging fund managers, and writes the MENA Build newsletter. He is a founding partner of Multiples Ventures.
Through Syndicate Lab he does the thing he believes the region most needs: he doesn't just teach syndicates — he co-leads your first deal with you, bringing judgment, structure, and honest guidance to your side of the table.
"Learn, network, grow."
