The Fund of Funds programme is designed to cultivate a vibrant start-up and venture capital ecosystem in Qatar, with a focus on attracting leading venture capital funds and entrepreneurs.

As part of this growth strategy, HCF LLC, an affiliate of Human Capital, will open its first international office in Doha, Qatar.

The initiative seeks to enhance financial performance while making a positive impact on the Qatari venture capital landscape.

Human Capital has officially joined the Qatar Investment Authority's (QIA) Fund of Funds programme, a partnership announced recently.

The new office will be led by Pradeep Desu, a seasoned expert in talent acquisition with experience at notable companies such as Uber and Gojek.

Launched in February 2024, the programme intends to invest over $1 billion in both international and regional venture capital funds, particularly in the tech and healthcare sectors.

This collaboration is part of a strategic initiative between Human Capital and QIA, aimed at bolstering business growth in the Middle East.

Desu's extensive background in scaling businesses and recruiting is expected to play a crucial role in developing Human Capital in the region.
