Press release:
Khwarizmi Ventures is thrilled to announce the successful partial exit from its portfolio company, Bosta, marking another important step forward for the firm, bringing the total to 6 successful exits from Tamara, POSRocket, Fatura, Melltoo, Qawafel, and now Bosta. The firm has distributed capital back to Fund I investors twice in less than 5 years since the launch date.
Khwarizmi Ventures invested in Bosta three times, starting with its Series A round and later leading one of the follow-on rounds, backing the founding team for their ambitious vision, customer-centric approach, and ability to execute in one of the region's most dynamic sectors. As Bosta scaled from an emerging startup into a market leader, Khwarizmi Ventures completed a partial exit, realising about a 3x net multiple across its total position. This step reflects the value created through Bosta’s growth and the strength of the partnership built from the company’s earliest stage.
"We're incredibly proud of Bosta team and grateful to be part of their journey. This achievement reflects the founders' vision, relentless execution, and the strength of innovation emerging from the MENA startup ecosystem. We look forward to the company's next chapter of growth.
— Abdulaziz AlTurki, Managing Partner at Khwarizmi Ventures
Since its founding in 2017, Bosta has transformed logistics and last-mile delivery by providing businesses with reliable, technology-driven shipping solutions. Through continuous innovation and strong execution, the company has expanded its reach, strengthened its market position, and delivered meaningful value to merchants and consumers.
"Bosta was founded to solve one of the biggest challenges facing e-commerce in our region: reliable, scalable last-mile delivery. Over the years, we’ve evolved into a platform that supports thousands of businesses and enables commerce across multiple markets. This outcome reflects how far Bosta has come and the strength of the team behind it. We’re excited to build on this foundation and continue expanding Bosta’s impact across the region."
— Mohamed Ezzat, Founder & CEO at Bosta
This achievement reinforces Khwarizmi Ventures' commitment to partnering with exceptional founders to build category-defining technology companies across the region. We congratulate the entire Bosta team, including its employees, customers, investors, and partners, on their success and wish them continued success in the years ahead.
