Anyone have experience in raising capital out of the Middle East (Jordan, Kuwait, SA)? Any experience in delivering solutions in that area? I am trying to figure out if a pursuit in that area is to much of a risk. Any insight is appreciated.

Jordan, maybe worth it and more compatible culturally. Better government too.

OP: We have our company incorporated in Dubai and have strong relations out of the Middle East. While, we are self-financed we do help startups with funding opportunities. Please feel free to DM so I have a better understanding of what you do.

I would target the UAE and Qatar, they tend to take risks.

Hi everyone, I work at an early stage start up that just closed our round A. I just hired a director below me, however when it was time to come up with an offer I was removed from the conversation. The CO-founders said they’d handle the actual offer amount/equity. I joined early so salary is low but I have decent equity. Not sure if they didn’t want me seeing the offer or if this is normal for early start ups.
