Sandstone Capital

Sandstone Capital is an emerging venture capital firm based in Amman, Jordan, specializing in seed-stage investments in startups across the MENA region. Established in 2021 by Lina Hammad, a former startup founder and venture capitalist with a passion for supporting early-stage innovation, the firm focuses on identifying high-potential startups in sectors such as e-commerce, SaaS, and digital health.

With a dedicated team of 12 investment professionals, Sandstone Capital has quickly made its mark, investing in over 10 promising startups within its first two years of operation. The firm is committed to nurturing young companies by providing not only capital but also critical mentorship, business development resources, and access to a wide network of industry connections. One of the firm's standout investments includes a Jordanian logistics startup that has since scaled regionally and secured additional rounds of funding from international investors.

Sandstone Capital operates with core values of innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurial empowerment. The firm reported revenues of $1.8 million in 2023, showcasing steady growth as it continues to expand its portfolio. Future plans include launching an accelerator program to support even earlier-stage startups and fostering stronger ties with international venture capital firms, further establishing Sandstone Capital as a key player in Jordan’s vibrant startup ecosystem.
