TechWadi played a major role in my career by opening many doors for opportunities in Silicon Valley. After I was enrolled in the Injaz Program and meeting many key people through the visits, I was fortunate enough to be selected as part of the Plug and Play Mobility program, a three-month accelerator which was held at the end of last year and helped propel dryve onto the global stage, widening my network even further in the Valley. I owe a lot of my success to this program and TechWadi.

TechWadi is a great partner for both entrepreneurs and mentors alike. I always look forward to TechWadi's acceleration programs, as they are a great way to meet and engage with some of the most exciting startups in the Middle East - and are a great opportunity for mentors like myself to stay in touch with our homes. The bridges that TechWadi builds are unique, as the learning happens in both directions - we share our experiences with the entrepreneurs and we listen and learn from them about the incredibly challenging environments they operate in - and together, we build solutions that blend our experience with their determination to succeed.

I have been fortunate to be a TechWadi mentor for several years. TechWadi entrepreneurs are ambitious, bright, and successful in their country, but TechWadi makes a difference by providing additional connections and support. If the entrepreneurs can receive one valuable contact, a funding possibility, or even just the realization of how challenging it can be for a startup to succeed even in the Silicon Valley, it can position them better to overcome challenges and grow their business. These entrepreneurs make a difference. They provide jobs and income in the region, and there is no doubt that the next ""big thing"" could come from anywhere in the world.
