About
Waleed Shaarani is a Partner at Viaka Ventures, an early-stage venture fund backing exceptional MENA diaspora founders building category-defining companies across North America and Europe. He brings an operator-first lens to investing, shaped by his role as Head of Revenue at Spiky.ai, where he led GTM, commercialization, and revenue strategy. Waleed’s investment focus centers on technically defensible, platform-level businesses solving deep structural problems. Before venture, he built his career across sales, product commercialization, and go-to-market execution. He evaluates founders the way he builds — with urgency, clarity, and conviction.
