When we hear about venture capital, we think of those ideas that start small and grow to change the world. In 2024, the size of venture capital investments in startups and digital currencies reached $ 10.04 billion globally, reflecting investors’ optimism about the future of innovation.

Take, for example, companies like SpaceX and Tesla, which received huge investments from venture capital in their early days. These companies, which were once just ideas, have now become shining names leading innovation in the world.

In the world of digital currencies, Coinbase is one of the most prominent examples of companies that received large investments from venture capital. It was founded in 2012 with the support of investment companies such as Union Square Ventures, and today it has become one of the largest digital currency trading platforms in the world.

As for our Arab region, we find companies such as Careem and Souq.com that have benefited from venture capital investments to develop their services. Careem, which started as a local idea in Dubai, was later acquired by Uber for $ 3.1 billion, while Souq.com became part of Amazon.

These are examples that illustrate how venture capital can turn ideas into reality and global success. However, we must be aware of the risks, as not all companies succeed. Many companies have gone bankrupt, so if you are interested in investing, always have a well-thought-out plan to minimize risks and increase the chances of success.
