Jabbar Internet Group
VC Fund · Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 4 investments in United Arab Emirates Retail startups

The exit of Souq to Amazon is the largest tech transaction of the region, and Souq continues to pave the way in e-commerce in the region. Souq was built from the ground up by the same team at Jabbar, who built the Maktoob portal before that. Maktoob was born out of a simple idea but with a vision that the Arabic Internet will grow and become anintegral part of everybody's life, and grew to become the largest Arabic Internet property before Yahoo acquired it.Both the Souq and Maktoob stories have become inspiring success stories in the region, where budding entrepreneurs and VC's alike, look to our team for inspiration and new ideas.Today Jabbar continues to grow and pave the way for tech in the region. It is in this spirit that we embrace any entrepreneur who is willing to innovate and take risks in order to create something great. Jabbar nurtures such individuals and supports nascent ideas that are in line with its mission. So join our journey :-)

There are proven tools and techniques that are available - right now - to help millions age successfully and prevent what we used to think of as inevitable. But many people don't know about them, or how to apply them. That'sthe gap we're filling - so more of us can make active - even aggressive- efforts to keep aging from disrupting our lives. But we all don't age in the same way. So we use data to identify different "course calculations'' - predicting a particular individual's aging curve. We then apply insights derived from large datasets to make effective personalized recommendations for successful aging. That's the "Prevent what you can '' half of our mission. The second half - preparation for the unexpected - is why we offer our platform through America's Most innovative and trusted insurance companies. The combination of prevention and preparation benefits individuals, their families, and society.Because our mission touches science and behavior change, we are a cross-disciplinary team of experienced entrepreneurs, clinicians, with offices in Tel Aviv and Boston, and backed by leading venture capital firms and strategic investors.
