Hello Doha Tech Angels community,
So far in 2025, we have screened +650 applications, met with over 120 founders, and invited seven startups to pitch to our angel network. Each pitch night now draws 50-plus investors, both individual and institutional.
2025 is proving to be a pivotal year for DTA, we are broadening our programs while staying firmly focused on seed-stage investments.
DTA invested in two companies so far in 2025 :
A platform accelerating the development of new materials using AI-driven predictions and data management. It helps chemical and materials companies organize experimental data, optimize formulations, and predict material properties, significantly reducing costs, time-to-market, and reliance on traditional trial-and-error methods.

A platform that helps companies hire top talent by building professional communities. It replaces traditional hiring channels with a network where every member passes a rigorous selection process. This improves candidate quality, reduces time-to-hire, and offers an alternative to LinkedIn for recruiting high-performing professionals. Learn more about Nova here.
