Omniful
Supply Chain / OMS / SaaS
Series AGCC + India$5–15M USD
90+ clients, 20 countries, 5.1M+ orders. Aramex 4-yr partnership.
Tier 1 — priority introductions (score 13–16/16)

Possible — Ahmed MENA network
Tier 1 · 16/16
Gap: Supply chain + logistics infrastructure — GCC-native
Geo 3/3Stage 3/3Sector 3/3Revenue 2/2Cheque 2/2Founder 2/2Gap 1/1
GCC-native supply chain SaaS replacing SAP/Oracle/Manhattan is STV's natural territory. Aramex as a 4-year partner is a tier-1 GCC logistics reference. Strongest strategic fit of any investor in this cohort. The personal connection between Ahmed Korayem and Mostafa Abolnasr (CEO, Egyptian-Canadian background) is an additional warm path amplifier for the STV outreach.
Next: Ahmed to leverage MENA network for a warm STV intro. If direct STV relationship doesn't exist, route via MENA VC network or Arab tech community connections.
OMERS Ventures
Possible via TBDC
Tier 1 · 14/16
Gap: Enterprise B2B SaaS — no supply chain OMS
~ Geo 2/3Stage 3/3Sector 3/3Revenue 2/2Cheque 2/2Founder 2/2Gap 0/1
Series A with significant enterprise revenue and Canada Q1 2026 expansion is exactly OMERS' entry profile. The Canadian expansion is the hook — without it this conversation doesn't happen. 90+ clients across 20 countries is a compelling scale signal for enterprise SaaS investors.
Next: TBDC warm path to OMERS. Frame the Canada Q1 2026 expansion as primary — OMERS needs a Canadian nexus to lead.
Inovia Capital
Possible via TBDC
Tier 1 · 13/16
Gap: B2B SaaS at Series A — no logistics/OMS play
~ Geo 2/3Stage 3/3Sector 3/3Revenue 2/2Cheque 2/2Founder 2/2Gap 0/1
Strong Series A profile with enterprise revenue. Canada Q1 2026 expansion is credible. Inovia's global portfolio appetite supports a GCC-origin company with genuine North American ambition.
Next: TBDC warm path alongside OMERS approach. Inovia can be positioned as co-lead or follow-on.
Tier 2 — qualified outreach (score 8–12/16)
Wamda Capital
Possible — Ahmed MENA network
Tier 2 · 11/16
Gap: MENA focus + enterprise SaaS interest
~ Geo 2/3~ Stage 2/3Sector 3/3Revenue 2/2~ Cheque 1/2Founder 2/2Gap 0/1
MENA-focused with enterprise SaaS appetite. Cheque size ($500K–$5M) is smaller than the round likely needs — position as co-investor or strategic follow-on rather than lead. Ahmed's MENA network is the warm path.
Next: Ahmed MENA network approach. Position as strategic co-investor, not round lead. Good for GCC-credibility optics alongside a Canadian lead.
Do not match — reason logged
Golden / Panache / Staircase
Pre-seed/Seed focused with $250K–$2M cheques. Omniful at Series A with 90+ clients has outgrown their mandate by 3 stages. Introducing now signals TBDC doesn't read the room.
Portage Ventures
FinTech and InsurTech exclusive. Supply chain OMS has zero thesis overlap regardless of SaaS delivery model.
Cycle Capital
Cleantech focus. No alignment with supply chain SaaS regardless of operational efficiency framing.
