Fueling Innovation & Empowering Startups
Khwarizmi Ventures is a Saudi-based VC firm investing in early-stage startups with proven traction in the GCC region. Since its launch in 2018, the firm has backed disciplined founders and scaled disruptive algorithms.
The Legend of Khwarizmi
The Firm was named after Muḥammad Al-Khwārizmī, a 9th century Muslim polymath who produced works in mathematics, astronomy, and geography. The terms “algorism” and “algorithm” are derived from al-Khwārizmī. In Europe, the word “algorithm” was originally used to refer to the sets of rules and techniques used by Al-Khwarizmi to solve algebraic equations, later being generalized to refer to any set of rules or techniques.
