I want to start a directory of MENA founders. Something like the YC Startup Directory. Founders and ecosystem can use it for various purposes. I think it'd be very useful given the dynamics of our region. I also believe it should be vetted to include specific criteria of founders (ex: accelerator, raised, etc), both sector and stage agnostic. Fill the form if you're interested to be on the list: https://lnkd.in/dz4fPjuJ I won't share data with anyone yet until I get consent from the people who fill the form on how they want the data to be shared.
