Methodology
What the score measures, who is eligible, and what it deliberately excludes.
- How is the Brouky score for United Arab Emirates calculated?
- Each firm is scored out of 110 points across four measured components: portfolio outcomes (40), deal volume (30), risk adjustment (25) and cheque-size fit (15). The score is computed from tracked investments and portfolio company status. It is not editorial and firms cannot influence it.
- Which firms are eligible for the United Arab Emirates ranking?
- Venture and corporate venture funds headquartered in United Arab Emirates with at least 5 tracked investments. 28 firms qualify; the top 25 are listed. Angel investors, family offices, banks, accelerators and government vehicles are excluded because they are scored on a different basis and are not comparable.
- How often is the ranking updated?
- Scores are recomputed as new investments and portfolio outcomes are recorded, and this page refreshes daily.
- My fund's data looks wrong. Can it be corrected?
- Yes. Claim the fund's profile on Brouky to review the underlying investments and portfolio records, and the score updates from the corrected data.
