Following the remarkable success of last year's pitch night in Dubai, LIFE organised the second edition in partnership with MEVP, e& Capital, Wamda Capital, Access Bridge Ventures, Saudi Angel Investors and Dubai Angel Investors. During the event, ten entrepreneurs presented their businesses, followed by networking over drinks. The aim was to provide entrepreneurs with the opportunity to pitch to potential investors. The ten semi-finalists qualified to apply for the Mckinsey Fuel Ignition startup program, where a group of consultants supported the startups with their strategic questions by working collaboratively and engaging their global experts.
“For Matbakhi, the objectives were to generate awareness about Matbakhi’s unique business model at scale, connect with the LIFE community and engage with potential investors. I believe we managed to achieve the 3 objectives successfully, all due to your amazing effort.” Joe Frem, CEO of Matbakhi
“The event was great, and as always I highly recommend it to anyone in the ecosystem.” Husam Aboul Hosn, CEO of Crunch
“LIFE brought so much value to Jobs for Humanity! The pitch event in UAE led to our selection in NVIDIA's Inception Program which in turn offered us the latest AI technology as well as $25k in AWS credits. It also got us into McKinsey's Ignite program where we're currently working with a team of consultants on our marketing strategy. Last, it introduced us to the Saudi Angel Investor network with whom we will be pitching for our next fundraise.” Roy Baladi, Founder of Jobs for Humanity
The following companies have been selected by the committee:
This event was generously sponsored by MEVP and Right Bite. We would like to thank our community outreach partners: AUB ipark, AWS, IE Club Lebanon, Nvidia, the UAE alumni chapters of AUB and USJ, and 2022 Female Angels.
