Party theme
Our goal is to assist MENA (Middle East & North Africa) entrepreneurs transform their ideas to reality, taking their early stage startups to the next level. We hope to create the right channels and programs that cultivate a strong entrepreneurial community and we will be announcing some very soon.
Party hosts
We are three entrepreneurs from the Middle East. We founded, advised, fund raised and sold a number of companies in the US and Middle East. Throughout our journeys we faced a number of issues that we had to overcome, some were tougher than others. We realized that a lot of entrepreneurs in the MENA region face the same problems and we decided to do something about it.
Party people and Party food
As with every party, success is highly dependent on the people … and on the food! There is no cover charge no dress code, and no reservations, just bring your own food, share and and receive. We are big fans of open communities and hope, to create that through YallaStartup! We will also be inviting many experts from various fields to share their deep expertise with all of us.
But most of all, enjoy it
Doing your startup is like being on a roller coaster, one day you are the king of the world, the next day you question yourself on why you took the jump. One thing is for sure, it’s one FUN ride. So be ready to enjoy it to the max!
Almost ready …
Yalla, we are almost ready to go live, but before we do so we are giving away free entrepreneurship courses.
