I had a lovely time participating in a panel during the She Wins Arabia Pitch Competition hosted by IFC - International Finance Corporation at STARTGATE. With Ming S. Kwan Nizar ABDALLAOUI MAANE Mohamed LAHMAMI, we exchanged a few ideas about how can female entrepreneurs build a financially resilient business in a global economic crisis. A few advices that came out of the discussion that are worth mentioning... 👩💻 Women entrepreneurs are under represented. The tech ecosystem is pushing for more female entrepreneurs to rise. Take this opportunity to shine. 🚀 Traction and unit economics are the first things to focus on. Make sure you think about a path to profitability from day one. 🎤 Accomplishments do not speak for themselves. A lot of entrepreneurs do not communicate about the great work they do so make sure to take the time to speak about the value of your work. Celebrating your achievements will help boost your self confidence and motivate you to achieve more. ⏱ Dedicate enough time to fundraising and make sure the right person in your organization is doing it. 💫 Build your network and do not hesitate to leverage it. There are a lot of inspiring and strong female entrepreneurs who are willing to give back so do not hesitate to reach out to them.
Proud of you 💪💪
