Elected at the last Annual General Meeting, Sheikh Saeed O. Al-Maktoum joins Mr. Hamdi Osman (Chairman), Mr. Samer Toukan (CEO), Mr. Marcus Berneström and Mr. Daniel Daboczy (Group CEO) as a Member of the Board of FundedByMe MENA Ltd. (based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates).
As a keen technology and entrepreneurship enthusiast, Sheikh Saeed O. Al-Maktoum is an early investor and co-founder in FundedByMe MENA (15% ownership). His group co-invests and manages a diversified portfolio that includes technology, healthcare, food & beverage, property development and management.
FundedByMe MENA Ltd. is the first equity crowdfunding platform operator, fully incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre ("DIFC") and fully regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority ("DFSA").
“Sheikh Saeed is a real champion of crowdfunding. When we first met, he was planning to develop a crowdfunding platform under his group. However, our vision and strategy were so much aligned that we decided to join forces instead under the FundedByMe banner” says Samer Toukan CEO FundedByMe MENA.
”FundedByMe believes that crowdfunding for equity is and should be a global phenomenon, thus we’ve invested a lot of time and funds in the company's international expansion and we can boldly say that we’re leading by far on international equity crowdfunding. The Group’s presence in the UAE and wider MENA region is strategically very important and we’re extremely delighted to see the progress and the steps our partners and team have taken. Having His Highness as a Shareholder and Board Member means a lot and we’re honored and humbled” says Daniel Daboczy, Group CEO FundedByMe.
