Building Tomorrow's Economy

About Us

Growth, Impact, Empowerment. As catalytic growth investors, we partner with innovative entrepreneurs, management teams, and family offices to develop and expand unique middle-market businesses with a purpose-driven focus. Entrusted to deliver robust returns, we promote sustainable job creation and expand choices for low to middle-income consumers, fostering more inclusive growth and access to quality products and services in Egypt and North Africa. Our investment portfolio covers key sectors such as consumer goods, tertiary education, healthcare, and financial services — areas we identify as having significant potential for future growth. 

Shared Ownership

Ownership works. We are committed to offering our portfolio company employees the chance to accumulate wealth within the workplace through shared ownership. Our experience shows that widespread employee ownership not only facilitates significant wealth accumulation for staff but also elevates family well-being, revitalizes company cultures, boosts employee involvement, and enhances business outcomes, leading to more robust organizations. Granting employees a share in the value they contribute to isn't just a sound business practice and a wise investment approach; it's fundamentally the right approach. 

Our Portfolio

We don’t buy companies, we invest in partnerships. Nothing explains what we do better than the partner companies we back. Below are some of the leading companies in their sectors positively impacting their communities. These companies benefit from large addressable markets, defensible business models, and high quality capable management teams. The aggregate value of equity of our current partner companies is in excess of $1bn. 

Realized Investments

Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with leading companies across a range of sectors, geographies, and transaction types—generating meaningful impact alongside attractive returns for our investors and partners. Our track record reflects a disciplined investment approach, deep local insight, and close collaboration with exceptional founders and management teams. RMBV has helped scale businesses in core sectors including healthcare services and manufacturing, K–12 and higher education, consumer goods and services, and financial services. Many of these companies are today's market leaders. To date, we have returned over $1.2 billion from 12 realizations in North Africa, and more than $1.6 billion across the broader Middle East. 

Our Impact

Returns with Responsibility. Our commitment is to deliver superior returns while driving substantial improvements for underserved businesses and customers in North Africa and beyond. At the core of our mission is creating meaningful impact, with ESG principles guiding us to ensure responsible outcomes. Our strategy emphasizes three main areas: i) expanding access to goods and services for consumers and businesses, ii) enhancing quality through affordability, diverse offerings, convenience, and efficiency, and iii) fostering positive changes in our markets to support inclusive growth, job creation and gender balance. We use a blend of financial, operational KPIs, and governance indices to effectively measure and report performance across our partner companies. 

We are committed to Paris Alignment and will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify and fund green investments in portfolio projects that contribute to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and environmental objectives through energy and resource efficiency.
