Global Startup Funding Directory
A curated catalogue of 458 venture capital firms, accelerators, incubators, angel networks and government programs across 59 countries and 10 regions, from North America and Europe to the Middle East, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia. It leans into what the big directories overlook: 22 halal/Sharia-aligned funds and the fast-growing but under-covered emerging ecosystems. Search and filter by region, type, investment focus, stage, location, and halal/Muslim focus.
Compiled from publicly available sources. Figures are approximate and change often, so always verify details on each organization's own site before applying.
