Building on nearly a decade of experience, the firm designs, manages, and stewards investment pathways that support disciplined capital deployment with measurable impact.
Welcoming a New Chapter - Introducing Sunbird Finance
To our valued community,
We are proud to announce the next step in our journey.
In 2016, we launched Invest Palestine with a bold commitment: to mobilize diaspora capital back home and prove that impact investment in Palestine is both possible and meaningful. Over the years, this commitment moved from concept to reality. We structured vehicles, mobilized capital, and delivered measurable outcomes on the ground.
This work established a foundation and proof of concept that validated the model. It demonstrated that with the right structures, partners, and stewardship, capital can cross borders, overcome barriers, and generate value for communities as well as investors.
Today, we are building on this foundation with a broader mission. To reach globally, to bridge capital with enterprise, and to return with impact.
For this reason, Invest Palestine will now be known as Sunbird Finance.
“Invest Palestine” remains a core part of our identity, the foundational phase that made this evolution possible and set the stage for what comes next.
We thank you for your continued trust and look forward to opening new pathways together under the Sunbird Finance name.
With gratitude,
The Sunbird Finance Team
We Manage, Advise and Finance Impact Investment
Our work combines investment structuring, active management and enterprise support to ensure capital translates into real economic impact.
Investment Structuring
We design and establish purpose-built investment vehicles including funds, SPVs, and family office structures, that enable compliant capital deployment across jurisdictions.
Investment Management
We identify opportunities, evaluate enterprises, and steward investments through governance, strategic oversight, and financial management to ensure disciplined deployment and long-term value creation.
Enterprise Development
We advise enterprises and investment vehicles on governance, strategy, and financial structuring to strengthen their capacity for sustainable growth and investment readiness.
Market Development
We help unlock new markets and partnerships for Palestinian enterprises by facilitating international linkages, export opportunities, and sector development initiatives.
OUR THESIS
The Palestinian diaspora represents one of the most underleveraged economic assets of the Palestinian people. Across continents, generations of Palestinians have built businesses, expertise, and capital, yet the pathways to invest back into their homeland have historically been limited by structural, legal, and market barriers.
Sunbird Finance was created to change that.
By designing investment vehicles and cross-border structures, we transform diaspora solidarity into disciplined capital deployment. Our platform enables diaspora investors to participate in building resilient enterprises, creating jobs, and strengthening the Palestinian economy.
For us, diaspora is not distance.
It is connection, capability, and capital working together to build the future.
Diaspora is not exile, it is a bridge.
How We Create Lasting Impact: The Sunbird Model
At Sunbird Finance, we turn capital into real economic impact through a simple approach: Connect · Build · Sustain.
Connect
We work directly with diaspora investors across different countries, presenting opportunities in Palestine and building trust around its economic potential. Through outreach campaigns, investor meetings, and continuous dialogue, we bring together individuals, family offices, and partners who want to invest with purpose.
We listen carefully to their expectations and risk appetite, and we design investment vehicles that reflect their vision while meeting regulatory requirements across jurisdictions.
Build
We work closely with enterprises on the ground to prepare them to receive and manage investment. This includes strengthening governance, shaping business strategy, and implementing financial and operational systems that make companies investment-ready.
Our teams work side by side with entrepreneurs — helping them structure growth plans, improve reporting, and build the foundations needed to deploy capital effectively and responsibly.
Sustain
Once investments are made, our role continues. We remain actively involved through governance participation, board engagement, and continuous monitoring of performance.
We support enterprises by opening networks, facilitating partnerships, and helping them navigate challenges as they grow. Our objective is to ensure that both investors and enterprises succeed together, creating long-term value and lasting impact.
