Plus VC, a leading venture capital firm, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tawaref, a tech investment community, to accelerate the incorporation process of portfolio companies under its umbrella in KSA.

“We are delighted to partner with Tawaref, their pivotal role as catalysts, their strong track record, and their highly professional team of experts can help our startups to resolve the complexities of incorporation, and strongly position them for success and scalability.”
Under the terms of the MoU, Tawaref will work with +VC portfolio companies to facilitate the seamless setup of its operations in Saudi via its flagship Saudi Landing programme. In addition, both parties jointly will share deals, investment analysis, and market trends to keep updated on regional updates.
