Pitch Night for Lebanese Entrepreneurs, Dubai

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.

“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
