Amir Farha leaves Beco Capital to focus on pre-seed and seed-stage investing

Amir Farha, the co-founder and Managing Partner of Beco Capital has bid farewell to the Dubai-based firm to focus on pre-seed and seed-stage investing. Amir had co-founded Beco Capital with his cousin Dany Farha (who also happens to be the co-founder of region's leading careers platform Bayt.com) in 2012 to invest in early-stage startups in the Middle East & North Africa.

Announcing his departure in a Medium piece on Sunday, Amir said that he is spinning out of Beco, "I have decided to embark on another journey and will be spinning out of Beco. Like most entrepreneurial endeavors, Beco has been a vehicle of self-exploration for me. One that I am eternally grateful for and one that I find beautiful in itself.“

"I had the pleasure and privilege of working with my cousin and partner Dany Farha. It is not every day that you get to work with your role model, let alone family, and build a successful business together. Dany taught me a lot and gave me wisdom from many experiences together that has transformed me for the better both personally and professionally,“ he added.
