An impactful global event organized to meet leaders in tech, product and marketing. The best part was hearing about journeys of folks from different industries, where everyone wanted to help each other. I’m looking forward to being back in Dubai and inspire and grow the product community in the Middle East.

It’s been amazing to be at NorthStar. In the past few years, it’s really amazing to see the changes in the quality of the startups, the creators, seeing more women creating the startups and what an incredibly well-run event.

I met a Founder at the GITEX event that is building a business that represented a gap in our portfolio. Since then, my fund has added a lot of post-investment value to the startup. We concluded the investment in December.

Our participation in North Star resulted in us signing new business and partnerships with GITEX GLOBAL exhibitors across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and even as far afield as the Maldives. We realized how important the Middle East and Africa are, and look forward to setting up our regional office in the UAE.
