Profile

MASNA Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on scaling Saudi Arabia’s defense, aerospace, and advanced industrial manufacturing ecosystem.

Launched on February 8, 2026, during the World Defense Show in Riyadh, MASNA Ventures Fund I is the first venture capital fund dedicated exclusively to the Kingdom’s defense sector. The firm was created to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 localization objectives by providing growth equity to private-sector manufacturing platforms producing advanced U.S. and allied defense systems in the Kingdom.

MASNA Ventures invests at the formation and early scale-up stage of Saudi manufacturing joint ventures and special purpose vehicles, alongside strategic, industrial, and private-sector partners. The firm’s focus is on execution-ready platforms with defined end-user demand, existing industrial capability, and clear pathways to scale — positioning Saudi Arabia as a durable hub for allied defense manufacturing over the long term.
