The people standing next to our founders are not typical mentors. Second-time founders who know what it feels like to start over. Operators who built functions from scratch. People with scars, not just credentials.
60+Operators
Founders and operators who have built, scaled and exited companies in Egypt and the wider MENA region.
Operators, Not Advisors.
