Re: Introduction to TechWadi - Building Bridges Between MENA & Silicon Valley

[Yasser Al-Kadi/VP/Kadiholding]

Dear Tasneem,

It was my pleasure talking to you yesterday and I wish you a merciful and grateful Ramdan. 

I personally see a great potential that can be achieved between Oqal and TechWadi and look forward for a fruitful relationship between our two entities. 

As I have spoke with you I will keep Dina in touch with you for this project and we may see great result before TechWadi visit to our region in October.  Thanks a lot and looking forward to meet you soon inshalah. 

Regards,

Yasser

Dear Yaser,

It was great speaking to you yesterday. I wanted to recap discussion and the ways that TechWadi can partner with Oqal:

Below are a few suggestions:

• Sprint Acceleration: Oqal can select up to 10 startups/entrepreneurs for a 2 week long program here in Silicon Valley. This program will include customized workshops as well as meeting with mentors and investors
  
• Speaker series: TechWadi and Oqal can partner on events so that TechWadi can come to Saudi to speak and present workshops.
  
• Corporate membership: with this yearly membership you will get brand recognition as our partner on our website. There will be heavy coverage of all your events via our monthly newsletter and in social media with a reach of 5000+. In addition to this, your entrepreneurs also become members and have access to mentorship matching. 
  

Also, we are currently planning an event in October and we are looking for sponsor. TechWadi, together with StartupAngels, is working to bring an Angel Investor Roadshow to key cities in MENA around October 2017. The roadshow consists of a delegation of angel investors and coaches from the US for two days of workshops to train the local communities on angel investing. This collaborative roadshow will focus on unleashing the potential of early stage startup investors in the region convening members from diverse startup communities around the globe and allowing attendees to discover and learn best practices, forge new partnerships and even commit to a few investments on the spot. These workshops have already been presented all over the world, and will be customized for the MENA market.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Tasneem

Hello Yasser,

I am based in California. Is it possible to have a call late evening your time and early morning mine? For example 11am my time is 9pm your time, or even later if you prefer. 

Thank you,

Tasneem

Hisham, thank you for this wonderful introduction.

Dear Yaser,

It is a pleasure to virtually meet you. Sadly, I am not in Doha for the event, but insha'allah you can meet the TechWadi chairman, Sharif El Badawi.

As for the roadshow, TechWadi, together with StartupAngels, is working to bring an Angel Investor Roadshow to key cities in MENA around October 2017.

I would be happy to share more details about this roadshow and ways you can partner with us. Do you have availabilty for a call this week to touch base?

Best,

Tasneem

Salam Mr.Yasser,

It was pleasure meeting at the Applied AI event, albeit briefly. 

As per our conversation, I am connecting you to the Program Manager at TechWadi, Tasneem Sabri (ccd). They are organizing a couple of events in MENA this summer inshaAllah. TakaMoL’s 9/10ths program as well as the Badir Accelerator, are some of the partners that are keen on partnering.

Tasneem, it would be great if you could share with Mr.Yasser some information about TechWadi and the MENA Roadshow. Perhaps there is an opportunity to collaborate with Oqal, one of the many organizations he is involved with.

I will leave you two to connect.

Kind regards,

Hisham
