In a captivating panel discussion, Naser Saleh, founder of Madfoatcom, and Raed Al-Dado, founder of eDamana and an alumnus of JOIN Fincubator cohort 1, shared their unique entrepreneurial journeys, illuminating the evolution of the startup landscape over the past decade. Naser, who launched Madfoatcom ten years ago, reflected on the challenges and triumphs of building a successful venture in an earlier era, while Raed, poised to launch his product, highlighted the critical role of JOIN Fincubator in accelerating his journey. With its comprehensive support and strategic resources, JOIN Fincubator has provided Raed with invaluable mentorship and a strong network, enabling him to navigate the modern startup environment with confidence. Their exchange shed light not only on the significant changes in the entrepreneurial ecosystem but also on the importance of collaboration, guidance, and discipline in fostering innovation and success in today’s market.
