Morpho Investments Deploys Capital into Two Transactions and Advances One More Within the Same Six-Month Period of its First Closing

Cairo, Egypt — 20 May 2025 — Morpho Investments announced today that it had deployed capital into two transactions and advanced one more additional opportunity to a dual signed term sheet, all within the same six-month period during which it secured the first close of its inaugural fund, Morpho Fund I. Fundraising and capital deployment activities were conducted in parallel, reflecting Morpho’s commitment to aligning capital raising with disciplined, opportunity-driven execution — a rare feat for a newly launched platform operating in emerging markets. The investments reflect Morpho’s unique approach: backing businesses with proven management teams capable of scaling beyond single markets, building resilience through regional diversification, and leveraging human capital, governance, and strategic access to unlock sustainable value. Deployed Investments: • In partnership with Hassan Allam Holding, Morpho co-invested in the development of “Jinet Agriculture” - An Agricultural Development Park - spanning 14,200 feddans in West Minya. The project is designed to bolster Egypt’s food security, drive export capabilities, and foster industrial-scale agricultural processing. • Morpho provided growth capital to “Agriventures” - a precision farming leader specializing in berries - enabling its expansion into Saudi Arabia and Oman. Agriventures brings together world-class agricultural technology, exclusive growing licensing, selling and marketing agreements in Egypt and other key export markets, and precision farming practices that fit Morpho’s model of scaling differentiated platforms regionally. Advanced Pipeline: Morpho has signed a term sheet and is currently conducting due diligence on a healthcare services provider, poised to expand operations into Saudi Arabia, Morrocco, and Romania, further reflecting Morpho’s focus on cross-border scaling. Ayman Soliman, Founder and Managing Partner, commented: "We are proud to have transitioned from fundraising to value creation within the same early phase of our journey. In regions undergoing dynamic economic reform, disciplined deployment is critical. We remain steadfast in partnering with businesses that can navigate these changes and emerge as future regional leaders." Building a strong early pipeline reinforces Morpho’s belief that the Middle East and Africa are primed for platforms that leverage regional integration and sectoral innovation to drive sustainable economic transformation. Ihab Rizk, Founder and Managing Partner, added: "Our parallel fundraising and deployment reflects the strength of the relationships we are building — with investors who bring more than capital, and with management teams that share our ambition for cross-border growth. We are committed to working hand-in-hand with these teams to scale capabilities, open new markets, and create resilient legacies."
