Jordan's Innovative Startups and SMEs Fund (ISSF) has committed $7 million to Endeavor Catalyst V, a global co-investment fund with more than $300 million in assets under management, aiming to attract more international venture capital into Jordan's startup ecosystem.
The investment marks the launch of ISSF's second investment phase (Fund II) following the completion of its first investment cycle in 2025. The partnership aims to integrate Jordanian startups into global investment networks and expand their access to growth-stage capital and international funding sources.
Endeavor Catalyst, the investment arm of Endeavor, backs high-growth companies across more than 60 countries and has previously invested in Jordanian startups including Tamatem Games, Altibbi, EON Dental, Tarjama, and ZenHR.
ISSF expects the partnership to allocate part of the fund's investments to Jordanian ventures and support their international expansion.
