Go Big Partners

What Go Big Partners does

Go Big Partners is a privately held, early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2024 and headquartered in Ariana, Tunisia. The firm invests in early-stage B2B software startups built from Africa, providing strategic capital alongside operational expertise, hands-on product acceleration support, and assistance strengthening international go-to-market strategies in preparation for future fundraising rounds. Its investment thesis prioritizes B2B-focused founders with strong founders-market fit developing indispensable products that solve meaningful challenges at scale.

The firm's core "product" is its investment platform and portfolio support services rather than a proprietary technology product. Its technology relevance is indirect, expressed through the AI- and SaaS-heavy composition of its 12 portfolio companies spanning legaltech (Juridoc, ContractzLab), Industry 4.0/IoT (Magnus Data), AI video analytics (Anavid), HRTech (Fabskill), digital manufacturing (SeekMake), fintech (Insight Plus), fraud detection (Unfrauded), healthtech (Tanit AI), industrial computer vision (Octomiro), life sciences documentation (Wealthy Technology), and B2B collaboration (Cynoia). GBP additionally curates a perks program offering portfolio companies exclusive access to DevRev, Atlassian, Notion, HubSpot, Miro, Scaleway, and GitHub.

The business model is conventional early-stage venture capital: equity investments in seed-stage African B2B software companies with returns generated through exits via acquisition, IPO, or secondary sale, supplemented by typical VC management fees. Deal flow is sourced through direct founder outreach, professional network referrals, and an open Google Forms-based pitch submission portal. Ticket sizes, fund size, and LP composition are not publicly disclosed (the website displays placeholder values). The firm is privately held, founder-led by CEO Aymen Mbarek, with a team of approximately eight investment and operations professionals, and operates regionally across Africa with documented expansion ambitions into the OHADA region of West and Central Africa.
