The venture capital valuation landscape for early-stage ventures in the MENA region reflects a complex interplay of global standards and local market dynamics, shaped by evolving economic conditions and regulatory environments. While the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines have standardized the investment valuation approach, promoting transparency and consistency across global markets, including MENA, how do these practices, particularly for VC, play out in reality?
