Nabil Borhanu
Graphene Ventures
Founder & General Partner
An entrepreneur at heart; founded companies in Telecom, Sports, and Media. Grew the revenue from zero to over 300M coupled with creating over 700 jobs in less than 4 years. Relocated to the US in 2013 and founded Graphene Ventures, a VC fund focused on direct investments primarily in early-stage startups. That said, Graphene occasionally invests in late-stage private technology companies.
In 2016, contributed to Snapchat’s Middle East strategy plan, supported the recruitment of their MENA General Manager and helped getting the MENA office from $0 to $10M in less than one year. In addition, serves as a board member in many companies and a board observer in others where these companies are valued at over $5.3B USD.
Sticking to long term plans, clear futuristic vision, supported by 20 years of working experience and execution skills, has a different approach when making investments. This approach gave Graphene Ventures a unique position among its peers alongside the competitive advantage of deep roots and knowledge in Saudi Arabia, MENA, and US markets.
