Rania Belkahia

Rania joined the EQT Ventures team straight off her own entrepreneurial journey, having co-founded and led Afrimarket - an e-commerce platform for French-speaking West Africa. Rania scaled the company to more than 250 employees, five subsidiaries and raised €20 million in funding. A graduate of Telecom ParisTech and HEC Paris, Rania is passionate about entrepreneurship and the opportunity to back the next generation of founders coming out of France.

As a Deal Partner at EQT Ventures, Rania is responsible for driving all deals in France and works closely with our portfolio companies. Rania brings her first-hand experience in B2C e-commerce marketplaces, international scaling and operational strategy to help fellow entrepreneurs getting started on their own journeys.

Outside of work, Rania likes to travel and stay active. In fact, she has run three marathons over the last few years in Paris, St Petersburg and Barcelona.
