Ambar Amleh is the Founder and Managing Partner of Ibtikar Fund, Palestine’s only active venture capital firm, where she championed the fund’s design, structuring, and fundraising after previously supporting entrepreneurs as a program manager for a Palestinian nonprofit. Her investment thesis targets early-stage technology companies under Palestinian ownership, with a growing focus on diaspora founders across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to address regional early-stage funding gaps. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed, the firm’s first investment, Mashvisor, a Palestine-based data company targeting U.S. real estate investors, illustrates its cross-border market approach. Amleh has stated a clear personal conviction that investors can generate returns while supporting Palestinian startups, aiming to improve the ecosystem’s domestic and international image. She has articulated this point of view in public interviews and writings, including a Kauffman Fellows Journal piece where she emphasized building an entrepreneurship ecosystem in Palestine and potentially bringing diaspora founders back.
