Viaka Information

Viaka is a global platform that scouts, invests in, and supports the growth of exceptional MENA-connected and diaspora founders, while convening a trusted community of founders, investors, and operators across North America, Europe, and the MENA region. At the core of Viaka is its Angel Network that co-invest in early-stage, high-quality startups sourced through Viaka’s city chapters, events, and extended scout network. Viaka has intentionally democratized angel investing, enabling participation with checks as low as $1,000. This approach allows members to build early-stage exposure thoughtfully, learn alongside experienced investors, and support founders without the pressure of large single bets. It is particularly well-suited for high-earning professionals and operators who are new to angel investing and want a structured, credible way to enter the asset class while investing alongside seasoned angels. Viaka’s portfolio reflects a disciplined, conviction-driven approach, focusing on founders building scalable companies across sectors such as AI, health, fintech, and climate. Investment activity is supported by a strong sourcing engine spanning a 5k+ member global community, and 5 active city chapters (NYC, SF, Boston, Toronto & London). Beyond capital, Viaka supports founders through go-to-market programs, curated introductions to investors and partners, and high-trust convenings such as MENA Rising, which brings together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to spotlight innovation and opportunity across the region. Viaka is building long-term infrastructure for trust, dealflow, and capital formation across the global MENA ecosystem.
