"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." – Steve Jobs As a venture capital investor and entrepreneur, I have dedicated my career to helping founders turn groundbreaking ideas into impactful businesses that change the world. At my VC firm, Sherif Capital, I have worked closely with entrepreneurs to navigate the critical early stages of their ventures. From conducting market research and defining key product features to building effective go-to-market strategies and recruiting top-tier talent, I’ve partnered with founders to lay the foundation for scalable, sustainable growth. My investments have led to exits with industry leaders like Microsoft, Oracle, Mastercard, and SoFi Technologies, reflecting my commitment to identifying and supporting transformative innovation. I bring not just expertise but also a deep passion for empowering entrepreneurs to succeed on their own terms. Having achieved one exit as a founder and three as an investor, I understand the complexities of scaling a business while preserving the leverage and ownership necessary to keep building toward a founder’s vision. I’ve also helped dozens of entrepreneurs secure non-dilutive or founder-friendly financing, ensuring they have the resources to scale without compromising their dreams. My mission is to support innovators in creating a better tomorrow, giving them the tools, strategies, and guidance they need to turn their vision into reality.
