💥 We're proud to be part of LAIN — Lebanon's first curated angel investor network. $60 billion in company value created across three continents from 6 Lebanese Founded companies: Ramp. Kalshi. Kitopi. Huspy. Toters. Nymcard. The talent has never been in question. What was missing was a trusted platform for global Lebanese capital to support early stage founders when it matters most. That's exactly what LAIN, the Lebanese Angel Investor Network, is designed to do. Launched on May 11 in partnership with MITAI Lebanon and operated by BY Venture Partners , LAIN is the country's first curated angel investment vehicle, mobilizing diaspora and local capital behind the next generation of Lebanese founders, wherever they're building. Razor Capital is honored to serve on LAIN's Advisory Board, alongside Endeavor Lebanon, LebNet, Beirut Digital District, Talal and Madiha Zein AUB Innovation Park, >>T/S//A/ , and IMFnding. Our role is to support governance, deal and capital access, and coach and advise founders whenever needed. LAIN, launching with $5M in soft commitments and a clear investment structure targeting pre-seed and seed stage companies, is a meaningful structural step for the ecosystem. It creates the kind of organized, credible capital infrastructure that Lebanese startups have long deserved. 40 companies will be funded from the first fund! We're glad to be part of building it. 🚨 LAIN is now officially accepting commitments. If you are ready to join and support the next generation of Lebanese-connected founders, you can finalize your commitment directly through the platform here: 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dPq-KPBr #VentureCapital #Angels #AngelInvesting #Lebanon #EcosystemSupport

We are lucky to end the year with three exciting Southeast Asian investments executed reflecting Razor Capital’s commitment to backing bold founders solving real-world challenges who's solutions can be felt across emerging markets. This year, we backed: •⁠ ⁠RuralNet Incorporated (Philippines/Regional) – advancing accessible and tech-enabled insurance for underserved communities. •⁠Inflow (Vietnam/Regional) – reshaping the fashion supply chain with speed, transparency, and on-demand manufacturing. •⁠ ⁠Sixr Cricket (Bangladesh/Regional) – building a next-generation Web3 cricket gaming and leveraging that platform to ensure inclusivity for all cricket fans worldwide. At Razor Capital, we invest in companies that move the needle, unlock economic opportunity, and demonstrate strong potential for regional scale. We look at founders who are organising fast-growing sectors within disorganised ecosystems. Taking a wider view, the investments we have made and will continue to make, are commonly bound by the fact that all have one thing in common: bringing stakeholders closer together and building value for all. ⭐ We’re proud to support these founders and excited for what 2026 will bring as we continue expanding our footprint across Southeast Asia.

In 2025, we had two firsts. It was the first year in which we started investing in the Philippines and the first time we decided to host a gathering for our network of partners, investors, friends, and family. We had the pleasure of coming together in Cebu, a city rich with history and the home base of our first Filipino startup, RuralNet Incorporated. It is always a positive sign when a group of individuals come together to discuss shared views and align on what it takes to move the needle in a positively impactful director. We had a diverse number attendees who come from different background each playing an important role in their contributions to the Filipino and wider Southeast Asian VC ecosystem. For that we are grateful. See you at the next Razor Capital Unplugged! #VentureCapital #Philippines #RazorCapital #SoutheastAsia #Investment
