Shorooq’s biggest current holdings.
The most valuable companies Shorooq still holds — unicorns and thoroughbreds it has backed, ordered by Dealroom’s latest valuation. Companies that have been acquired or gone public are in Exits instead. Where a cap table names Shorooq directly, the stake and its estimated value are shown too.
Estimated value = Shorooq’s disclosed ownership % × Dealroom’s latest company valuation; direct named stakes only, exited positions excluded. Figures are indicative, not reported marks. See the underlying cap tables on Dealroom →
