Episode 45 - How can Mena build a deeptech ecosystem? 32:56

منذ 3 years32:56

32:56

Amr Awadallah is an Egyptian born computer scientist and entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley. What’s particularly interesting about Amr’s story is that he had no interest in becoming an entrepreneur. His plan was to become an academic and teach computer science back in Cairo. But while at Stanford University where he was doing his PhD, the startup bug hit him and he launched his first venture, Aptivia, back in 1999, which was later acquired by Yahoo. He went onto found Cloudera which went public back in 2017 in an IPO that raised over $4 billion. Now on his third venture, Zir AI, Amr is hoping to revolutionise the way we search online. In this podcast, Awadallah talks about his entrepreneurial journey, the key ingredients of a startup ecosystem and why paying it forward is so important.…

Almost a third of all the entreprenuers in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) are Jordanian, despite the country accounting for just 3 per cent of the region's total population. Jordan has become a major technology outsourcing hub thanks to its young, highly skilled population, bilingual in English and Arabic with a neutral accent; they are technologically savvy, highly educated, and eager to work at competitive wages.

There has been a sudden spike in investment heading towards Pakistani startups, with Middle East investors leading a significant chunk of this trend. In the eight months to August, startups in Pakistan raised more than $200 million, an astounding amount when compared to the $66 million raised in total in 2020. Pakistan’s economy has all the right markings of a market with potential. It has a population of 200 million, 64 per cent of whom are below the age of 30. It has a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of $1260, internet penetration stands at 54 per cent and startups and SMEs account contribute 40 per cent to the country’s GDP. The government has made significant strides in enabling the entrepreneurship sector, which has enabled the country to jump from 126th on the Global Entrepreneurship Index back in 2018, to 109 currently, reflecting the growth of the startup and SME sector in the country. In this podcast we spoke with Saif Ali, general manager at Dastgyr and Ahmad Saeed, founder of Grocerapp about the growth of entrepreneurship in Pakistan and whether the Middle East should be taking greater notice.…

When the pandemic first began to take hold, the development of a vaccination against the coronavirus wasn’t just a way to prevent its spread, but a means to go back to normality. Yet now that several vaccines have received approval and are being administered in many countries around the world, the route back to normality is looking rough and somewhat vague. With these vaccines, we are likely to see widening gaps between the countries that can afford it and have the infrastructure in place to administer it to their populations and the countries that do not. We are likely to see further not fewer travel restrictions and the way we do businesses will depend on where we are in the world. We spoke with Dr Noah Raford, futurist at the Dubai Future Foundation, to get a better idea of what the world will look like post-vaccine, the opportunities it presents for startups the Middle East and why Chinese technology has the potential to surpass Silicon Valley.…

Whether we like it or not, we are constantly being affected by the ‘fear of missing out’ or ‘FoMO’, a term coined by investor Patrick McGinnis in 2004. Patrick McGinnis. (Image via Patrick McGinnis' Twitter) Our generation is increasingly desiring to be connected to what others are doing in order to avoid the loss of potential fun experiences. Social media is not making this easier explained McGinnis in Amman on August 1, during an event organized by Wamda and hosted by the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation Grant Program. This need of maximized level of experience is also felt in the workplace: As a potential entrepreneur you’d want to quit your desk job and follow your passion, but at the same time you’d want to keep your status and sustainable pay cheque. To McGinnis the way out of this dilemma is pretty simple: keep both. But how do we make sure we don’t lose focus and fail in both worlds? We answer this question and more in an interview we had with McGinnis to learn more about his theory and what brings him to the MENA region.

Episode 11 - When less is more: The 10% entrepreneur by Patrick McGinnis 35:16

منذ 8 years35:16

35:16

We’ve all met those entrepreneurs who brag about dropping everything just to follow their dream and start their own business. You need to be fully committed they’d say. “But what happens when a year or two down the line you fail?” asks investor Patrick McGinnis. Patrick McGinnis. Unlike the mentors who preach the all or nothing at all mentality, McGinnis thinks that leaving your office job to build a startup is an uncalculated risk and too much of a burden to handle, specifically because failure in the startup world is not the exception. For most tech companies which intellectual property or talent is not compelling enough to catch the eye of the Googles, the Facebooks, or the Yahoos of the world, the cold hard reality is death. Some estimates even evaluate the failure at 90 percent of startups. McGinnis is the founder of Dirigo Advisors investment firm, and is an investor in more than 20 companies including Bluesmart, Nxtp.labs, and Ipsy. His first job forced him to work out of a ‘cubicle’ on Wall Street, an unlikely place for a future startup investor. Eventually, the mundaneness of his job pushed him to explore other horizons across the innovative world. However, he did not quit his day job simply because it was too risky to lose a sustainable paycheck. Instead, he dedicated only 10 percent of his time, effort and money to his passion. In 2016 McGinnis published ‘The 10% Entrepreneur’ to explain how building your startup in parallel to your daily job might actually bear better results than full on commitment.
