It’s a longer read today (and no, don’t skip this email). I’ll discuss the adoption of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards by regional tech startups and how VCs could be the gamechangers in this important matter.

November has been exciting for us so far; iKcon got acquired by REEF and our family welcomed two new members: Merit Incentives and our new analyst Noha El Sherif. 😎

What if we consider ESG a bit more…

A very fresh report on GCC consumers exposed that their biggest worry is illegal data collection and misuse. And while the public is becoming more socially and environmentally conscious, we as VC investors should take that into account when analysing potential investments.

Mentions of “ESG” during earnings calls have skyrocketed since mid-2020. Could the same be said of calls between LPs and fund managers and the latter and startup founders? What we can say with certainty is that ESG principles are gradually shaping LPs’ preferences and fund managers’ investment choices. Because ESG isn’t an exclusive playground for multinational corporations; SMEs and startups need to play along, too. As usual, the Middle Eastern ecosystem is catching up.

My analysis will be 2-fold:
1. Regional tech startups adopting ESG
2. Can VCs help startups get their ESG right?

Regional tech startups adopting ESG

Each sector comes with its own set of associated ESG risks. An agritech startup would have a different ESG strategy than a ride-hailing app and so on.

Here’s my adaptation of ESG principles for startups (note that it’s not definite):

Having good ESG standards in place can provide a startup with these outcomes:
– Attracting more investments
– Attracting talent & retaining it
– Improved brand image
– Lower risks (market risks, reputation, etc.)
– Long-term sustainability

Here are some local startups that are taking ESG very seriously:
– Swvl: Congestion reduced by 14.4 million person-hours. 245 million pounds of CO2 emissions saved. That’s what Swvl accomplished in the last 4 years―since its inception. The startup recently shared its 2021 ESG Report “Right to Mobility” – and we are very happy they did so. It’s important that startup stars like Swvl pave the way for other startups to pen down and execute their own ESG strategies.
– Cartlow: This startup has sustainability at its core and its re-commerce platform has already helped reduce a lot of e-waste and boosted environmental sustainability.
– Mejuri: The fine jewelry e-commerce aims to trace each of its pieces from mine to market to manage and improve the social and environmental impacts of its supply chain. Mejuri’s sustainability goal is to reach 100% traceability of materials. By the end of 2021, 100% of 14k gold products will be 100% traceable, with 70% being certified recycled and 30% responsibly mined.
– TruKKer: Its carriers can save their empty miles by up to 13%, which reduces carbon emissions. Multiple deliveries can be clubbed into a single booking, increasing productivity by up to 20%, saving time, fuel and trucks’ service life.

Can VCs help startups get their ESG right?

Middle East Investor Relations Association (MEIRA) believes that the majority of the market here really cares about ESG and is working off the same hymn sheet to drive progress. Do regional VCs care as well? Yes, some already do. We at Arzan VC agree that ESG is an important factor to be considered and it positively affects businesses in the long run.

One of my takeaways from the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh is that local startups lack a framework for implementing ESG policies. ESG becomes important when a company reaches scale, however basic ESG can be implemented from Day 1. VCs can be gamechangers in this regard. Integrating ESG into our own investment analyses would allow us to introduce the concept to startups. How?

– Looking for ESG when evaluating a startup is like looking for an additional value―not monetary but just as important. During due diligence, we analyze the main environmental and social trends affecting the startup’s geo region and industry and then we place the startup right into that analysis, highlighting its opportunities and risks. This analysis could serve as a good starting point for the introduction of ESG principles into that startup. VCs thus have a unique position to help create ESG-conscious businesses. Plus, when it comes to early-stage startups, these don’t have extra financial/human resources to allocate to ESG, so this is an added value that VCs can offer.
– We can compare the startup to its competitor (at a regional level) and create a sectorial ESG benchmark, i.e. having a single metric for each startup industry.
– Crunchbase argues for a simpler, single metric for all startups in a VC portfolio; a single metric for “E”, “S” and “G”, that is. In terms of the Environment, it could be a metric related to climate change, e.g. emissions. The Social indicator could be team diversity and inclusiveness. The Governance metric could be the percentage of independent directors on a startup board. Lastly, the startup founders should identify which of UN Sustainable Development Goals they enable and track their impact.

CB Insights was asking in one of their July newsletters about startups providing ESG ratings for private startups. That’s to say, there aren’t many. Such startups would be active in AI and alternative data domains. We got one like that in our portfolio: Crowd Analyzer. It’s not ESG-focused per se, but it can be of great help when analyzing the social sentiments on social media. Like how people feel about the activities of that and that company and what its brand reputation is like.

There’s a chance that ESG could become the future of investor confidence―for the regional startups and VCs alike. So, what if we start considering ESG a bit more and make it part of our DD… food for thought.

The liquidity is increasing and so is the VC competition. While founders may seem to have more leverage in their hands, for us VCs it’s become very important to set our strategies and stick to them. Don’t rush in finding your next founder.

About VC strategies and what the history tells us

I looked at Chris Sacca’s journey with Lowercase Fund I and thought it would be a good idea to share some thoughts with you. Sacca became a brand name when his early investments into Twitter, Uber and Instagram turned out to be really good investment decisions. Sized $10M and with a sole focus on seed investments, his fund had 250X multiple―as Sacca himself noted on The Tim Ferriss Show in 2015. Quick math: an LP that wrote a $100,000 check got back $25M.

But Sacca was sometimes also wrong―he ditched his chances to invest in GoPro and Snapchat. He didn’t invest in DropBox and Airbnb either. “I let the negative case dominate my choice of whether I should invest or not,” he explained on the show.

Lessons learned from Sacca’s Lowercase Fund I:
– Small fund (<$10 mil)
– Very well-connected in the Silicon Valley
– Businessperson at heart
– Had great mentors
– Possessed unicorn radar
– First he was an angel, then he raised a small fund
– Only got involved in deals where he could personally impact the outcome
– Partnered mostly with similar seed-stage VCs

Early-stage investments don’t allow for much massive due-diligence, so it’s all about the VC’s gut, the size of the addressed market, the product and the team behind it. And, importantly, the aftermath following the fundraising. (That’s also at the core of Arzan VC’s strategy.) It’s not much about strategies than about a subtle collaboration between the startup and VC teams and offering a helping hand whenever needed.

We at ArzanVC believe that every good VC needs to do this homework:

1. Take your time in finding the next founder. This often requires a solid network. Reach out only to those founders who really excite you. Outbound sourcing > inbound sourcing. Our team gets emails with pitch decks every day. Around half doesn’t pass through the screening phase and they’re filtered out, which saves time for both parties. Some VCs claim to filter out as many as 99% of pitch decks they receive, which means they’re not working hard on their outbound sourcing.

2. Test your bets. You must learn to make informed investment decisions, and that takes time and experience. Continuous research and critical thinking is a must.
3. Offer value that makes a difference. A good VC must bring value to the table.

What the history tells us:
– Be as exclusive as possible. Like when Sequoia Capital was the sole investor in WhatsApp and multiplied its $60M investment into whopping $3B upon WhatsApp’s acquisition by Facebook.
– Don’t underestimate exponential growth. Let’s recall how Facebook’s very first investor Peter Thiel didn’t participate in the Series A round and thus missed his potentially huge return on investment if he had done so. He thought Facebook to be overvalued at that time, while it was, in fact, undervalued.
– Negotiate the exit. The higher your stake, the more say you can have and the higher return on your investment.

Globally, these are some of the recent VC strategies:
– investing in female founders only
– launching funds and programs for “underprivileged” founders―we see these initiatives specially in the US (e.g. a16z’s The Talent x Opportunity Fund (TxO) or when Softbank dedicated $100M to Black, Latino and Native American founders)
– supporting and mentoring wanna-be investors from diverse ethnic groups

A successful VC strategy goes beyond returns. It’s a matter of both art and science; gut feelings and mindful decisions. And we already know that a good VC needs to offer much more than a cheque. My team and I believe in providing our portfolio companies with structured support: recruiting assistance, consulting, research resources, PR and other value-added services. Rolling up our sleeves is a must.

2021 is one of the hottest years to be a VC – or a startup. Regionally, globally… Plenty of investment rounds, exits, new SPACs… so the returns shouldn’t be any different than sky-high, right? Well, that’s what I’ve researched this month…

Who’s gonna return the fund?

This year looks so good in terms of the VC investment raised. How about the VC returns though? Globally, venture capital was the top performing asset class when it comes to PE/VC funds in 2020. In general, though, it’s not easy to access the individual data to begin with. A few may reach up to 700% (7x committed capital), many would be negative.
 
Globally, venture capital returned 28.5% in Q42020 ― the highest return since the dotcom era, and the 1-year IRR of VC funds surpassed 53% (vs. 19% in 2019).

Source: Burgiss; Q4 2020 Global Private Capital Review
 
The best VC times to live in?
If you’ve been investing for the past 5-10 years, your investments are currently maturing, and the returns are touching the sky for few. The lucky investors indeed got a well-diversified portfolio and apply Pareto wherever they go: 80% of good returns come from 20% of your investments. So, as the principle goes, out of 10 startups you invested in, 1 will really explode and IPO/M&A and another 1 will get you medium returns. These 2 stars will basically “return the fund” (and make the LPs very happy). In general (not always the case) LPs are happy when they get a 3x or more return of committed capital, e.g. a $100 million fund will generate a $300 million return. That’s ideal. (The 3x return gets trickier to achieve the bigger your fund size is.)
 
The returns of course depend on the stage. Seed fund returns are riskier but, if positive, they are much more ravishing than other types of VC funds. Seed-focused VCs won’t accommodate to the lower returns of later-stage funds because of the risk they bear. Put simply, seed investors shoot for ~50x or more from one investment, Series A investors eye 10x to 15x and later stage investors seek 3x to 5x.
 
Unicorns x returns
One of the pointers in my research was the market valuation of unicorns, which is, as of April 2021, $0.951T in Asia Pacific, $0.929T in North America, with Middle East & Africa (MEA) at the tail with only $0.021T. (Note that the MEA figure doesn’t include Swvl.)
 
However, the fact that we don’t have that many unicorns here doesn’t necessarily mean sluggish fund performance. With the existing MEA fund sizes, if you invested early, own a decent stake in early-stage companies and few of those companies exit at around $250M, as a fund you can make good returns. So, in reality, you don’t need to have unicorns to be labeled as a high performer. As a comparison, VCs managing more than $1B funds need to have 1 or 2 unicorns to generate good returns – however, those funds are based in more mature developed markets.
 
Moreover, the above data suggests there is much room for new unicorns in MEA. The record-smashing 2020 and H12021 results only confirm that the regional and international VCs investing here are willing to make higher-than-ever bets on the local startups, eyeing more than just “returning the fund”.
 
Variations between global VC returns
During 2010 and 2020, the venture capital was the top performer in the United States and returned an average of 15.15% per annum (while S&P 500 did 13.6% during the same period).
 
From 2007 till 2017, the financial performance of UK VC funds has been comparable to the US with UK performance only slightly lower than US funds of the same vintage.
 
PitchBook looked at 82 VC funds launched in 2010-12. They had a median average annual return of 11% during Q12020 though the very best of them returned more than 50% – those that saw plenty of exits. The worst had a negative 6%. So, the gap between the best and the worst performers is profound. Those funds that had invested in MongoDB, Etsy, Tumblr, Zoom and Uber were among the top performers.
 
A cherry on the cake: some of the funds with a vintage year 2019 are reportedly recording an IRR of up to 119%.
 
Well, I can’t really compare that to our local funds’ IRRs because such data barely exists. Some VCs say it’s confidential, others say the numbers are only estimates anyway.
 
Since one way to assess profitability is by analyzing the exits, we can at least check out the most interesting exits that took place this year and see who backed them:

• Anghami’s IPO – MEVP, SHUAA Capital, Samena Capital, Megladon, Endeavor, Sal&Co (+ others)
• Swvl’s IPO – Arzan Venture Capital, Beco Capital, Oman Technology Fund, Raed Ventures, Sawari Ventures (+ others)
• TreasuryXpress (UAE) – MEVP, Azure Capital Partners, The Luxury Fund (+ others)
• Spotii (UAE) – Daman Investments
• Mumzworld (UAE) – Gulf Islamic Investments, Swicorp, Wamda Captial, Global Ventures, Endeavor Catalyst, Saned Partners (+ others)
• Eventtus (Egypt) – Algebra Ventures, MEVP, Raed Ventures, 500 Startups, Cairo Angels, Daal, Hala Ventures (+ others)
• WaysToCap (Morocco) – Y Combinator, Battery Ventures, Soma Capital, Palm Drive Capital, Amino Capital, Endure Capital (+ others)
• Invoice Bazaar (UAE) – Advance Global Capital
• Ostaz by Synkers (Lebanon) – Phoenician Funds, Crescent Capital, 500 Startups, Dubai Angel Investors, Mulcan International Investments (+ others)

 
And, lastly, I had a look at the strongest vintage years for funds operating in the region:

• 2015―funds with 2015 vintage had invested in Careem, Souq.com, Anghami, Fresha, TruKKer…
• 2018―another great vintage. Investments included Swvl, Kitopi, MaxAB. And these funds keep on investing till now.

 
It would be an interesting exercise to look deeper into all the recent exits and create a mosaic of all the funds involved. Maybe another month. With 30+ exits since January 2021, there will be a lot of name-dropping.

This month I decided to grab a Zoom coffee with Taker. Its founder Abdullah Alsaadi spoke to me about how they’re re-empowering restaurants and why Taker is keen on collaborating with its competitors. More below.

We’re still not yet over the fact that Swvl is the region’s first $1.5B+ tech startup to go public on Nasdaq… and I believe we will certainly see more similar SPAC listings in the future. So, who’s next? Share with me your tips and let’s bet!

P.S. We will kick off the 2nd round of our Seed program with #RIYADH_Seed_02 (September 19-23). Startups from Saudi 🇸🇦 register here.

Taker is taking it to the next level through its open platform

Hasan: Taker is an online ordering system for restaurants – and much more. Can you tell us what Taker brings into the market?

Abdullah: Taker’s product offering can be split into 3 components: It has the ordering component, which includes website, application, social media channels, etc. The second component is growth – strategy, marketing tools, etc. The third component is logistics and it can be broken into 3 different models: outsourced, in-house and hybrid logistics.

At Taker, we say that we don’t just give you technology; we don’t just give you an application―we do give you that of course, but we also become your growth partner and provide you with support services. Why? Because we want to avoid a situation when you go online and unfortunately fail.

Hasan: How was the past year and a half for Taker? Did it surprise you? Did you take advantage of it?

Abdullah: We had anticipated the move towards having control back in the hands of the restaurants. The restaurants lost this control years ago in the favor of food aggregators. When we launched Taker, we knew there would come a point when restaurants would begin planning to retain that control again. Our initial anticipation of this move had been for 2022-3, but covid has speeded up that process, which ended up being in our favor. It basically saved us 1-2 years. So, today, restaurants are much more aware of the importance of being dependent on themselves and having their own digital channels.

Hasan: How are you getting ready for whatever comes next?

Abdullah: We love competition. We want competition. We believe we cannot solve the problem by ourselves―no one can―because the problem is much bigger than we think. It comes down to education, operations, logistics… Also, we would really like to collaborate with our competitors, because Taker is present in a new market category and we want to make this category bigger.

Also, most of our competitors (we don’t have many) think that in order to solve the problem you only need to provide a website and application, but this doesn’t work. You must have more to offer in your package. What is the biggest problem we’re trying to solve today? It’s not an application or website; it’s logistics. If we can solve the logistics issues perfectly, then the problem will be solved. That’s why we have TakerGo, which is our logistics arm.

Restaurants using Taker are spared of many headaches and burdens; they no longer need to go and negotiate with every single logistics company; we got that covered in our agreement.

One of our early goals was that we wanted restaurants to enable delivery with zero CapEx. Second, the solution had to be scalable and, third, it had to have a high success rate.

In order to solve the driver availability problem, we looked at the aggregators and their success rate. We found out everyone has a failure rate (which is normal). However, the aggregators’ failure rate was about 15% (i.e.,15% of all orders failed to be delivered), sometimes it went up to 60% (on Eid holidays, etc.). So, we built the product in a way that made all the companies work as one pool of drivers, which has helped us to increase the delivery success rate up to 97-98%. In fact, some of our clients have a success rate of 99.5%. And we keep working on further improving the delivery service. We didn’t only solve the problem faced by restaurants; we also solved the problem faced by delivery companies. That’s TakerGo.

Hasan: Since you mentioned the success rate, what is your personal secret to success? What’s your philosophy?

Abdullah: Our vision is to create a balance point in the market. I always tell my team: “We are not in the business of selling apps; we are disrupting the market and we have to give the control back to the hands of restaurants.” We don’t believe that aggregators will vanish; they’re here to stay. We are realistic in our planning, we have always managed the expectations of our clients and we got a great team.

There’s one thing I would like to stress again: we really believe in collaboration with other players in the market, and that’s why we’ve decided to have Taker as an open platform and to give access to 3rd parties’ innovations. We welcome anyone to build on top of our platform or simply integrate (i.e., delivery company/service integrates with TakerGo). Being an open platform is very important in achieving our main goal of creating a balance within the food delivery market. And, obviously, we cannot do everything by ourselves. It doesn’t matter how strong we as Taker are; the problem is much bigger and we can’t do it alone.

Hasan: We’re excited to be part of your journey!

Did you also notice the incoming international investors who are injecting big amounts of money into our local startups? We wonder what these foreign millions mean for the local market ― if anything at all… Some good food for thought in this month’s newsletter.

We are becoming mature, ladies and gentlemen

$654 million. The volume of venture investment in the Middle East in 2020. That’s what made it a record year.
$959 million. The volume in H1 2021. Almost a billion dollars was poured into 241 startups across the region. The record volume of 2020 was surpassed.
$415 million. The largest ever investment into a MENA startup, announced on July 1st (Kitopi). So far, the total investment volume for 2021 is $1.38+ billion. What’s next?

Well, our local startups definitely don’t suffer from lack of capital these days. We see deals happening on a daily basis because the process got faster. Everyone you want to pitch to is available on Zoom in a matter of days, sometimes even hours.

But what does the recent influx of big, international VC money into the region mean? Let’s take a quick look at some of the recent deals (timeframe April-July 2021).

• the region’s largest pre-Seed round to date (Telda) (also the 1st investment of Sequoia in the region)
• the region’s largest Series A round to date (Tamara)
• the region’s largest ever startup investment to date (Kitopi)

The fact that the international investors no longer only eye the region from the outside but they’re increasingly participating – if not leading – the rounds means that the market is certainly attractive and poised for growth. And maturing.

These investors may not have had an active strategy to focus on the region in the past, but they’re surely working on it now. And, while previously they’d be deploying in Series C or later, right now they’re shifting their attention towards earlier rounds. They’re also focusing on co-investing along with local funds because this will help strengthen their footprint in the region. Kitopi is the first investment of SoftBank’s Vision Fund 2 in a MENA-based startup. The first of probably many more to come.

What should be in it for the startups (apart from money) is an access to a large pool of global managerial (and C-level) know-how. What should be in it for the market in general is a more informed valuation and, hence, better valuation validation. Or is that my wishful thinking? In my previous experience, I have seen international VCs investing small tickets (relatively) with very minimal due diligence. This can hurt the ecosystem.

We can all agree that the recent big rounds are skyrocketing the total value of investments in the region, and I noted above that the presence of international investors should render a better valuation validation, but – food for thought – could these new players actually be contributing to the already-established precedence of overvalued rounds?

Also, the big rounds may push some startups very high up while leaving others on the ground. This could cause less competitiveness in the ecosystem as the startups with smaller valuations might not be able to keep up with the chosen few in the long run. On the other hand, if a startup raises more capital, it will be forced to grow much faster to reach the expected valuation by the next round, and that may cause unnecessary pressure on the team. In an opposite scenario, when the startup doesn’t get the luxury of big cash injection, the team will work harder to enhance its tech and core offering.

In all cases, the growing presence of international investors in our local waters is a sign of maturity of our ecosystem. We’re at the end of our teenage years.
