What we love

NorthLadder is one of those companies that just happen to check all the boxes: fantastic growth rates, a great circular and sustainable business model and a stellar founding team with deep industry expertise. Through its superior recommence channels, NorthLadder is able to address a huge untapped market in the MENA region and far beyond. This company marks our first investment outside of Europe, and we couldn't have wished for a better deal to enter the MENA market.
