Oussama Ammar

Independent venture builder and former co-founder of The Family

Oussama Ammar is an entrepreneur and investor known for co-founding The Family in 2013 and for teaching publicly about building and scaling startups. He was selected for Forbes’ 2016 30 Under 30 Europe list and served on the European Union’s Global Tech Panel launched in 2018. As of July 2026, he describes his work as independent, hands-on venture building from Dubai.1,2,3,4

01 — The profile

Background & perspective

In 2013, Oussama Ammar helped create The Family, a European startup-support organization. He became one of its most visible educators, delivering workshops, talks and public material on launching companies, customer acquisition, fundraising and scale. Historical pages from The Family and the European External Action Service identify him as a co-founder who taught and advised entrepreneurs.2,3

His personal website now describes a different model: investing directly and building new ventures alongside their operators without a conventional fund structure. He also continues to publish essays, videos and long-form entrepreneurial advisory sessions. That public teaching role explains why his Ooléle recap is organized around a broad operating system rather than one company’s history.1
