Applied AI

Shorooq Partners

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. Shorooq's official equity strategy spans pre-seed through late-stage growth; the Presight–Shorooq AI Fund is a $100M global platform. Treat vehicle size and stage coverage as firm-level context, not Bilal's personal authorization or a promised check size.

Bilal backs globally relevant AI companies where technical capability can be translated into real deployment. His operator and value-creation lens emphasizes more than capital: access to compute, data and enterprise environments; a credible path from research to commercialization; and locally rooted support that can create durable global businesses. He also works on the institutional conditions for MENA technology exits and capital-market depth.

Kleiner Perkins

Check: Not publicly disclosed. Kleiner Perkins invests from early stage through selective growth rounds; isolated portfolio check disclosures should not be treated as Josh's standard range.

Josh backs founders applying AI to consequential workflows in both software and the physical economy. His portfolio shows a consistent preference for products that turn abundant but fragmented information into trustworthy decisions or actions, automate labor-constrained expert work, or combine software with hardware to reverse structural productivity declines. He remains open beyond named sectors when a founder is determined to reinvent an industry.
