ABOUT THE BOOK

When some people think of Cairo, they think of pyramids and ancient civilizations. But today, the Egyptian capital – ranked by a 2018 UN report as the most attractive African city for foreign investment – is known as a blossoming startup hub buzzing with youthful energy. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the city is experiencing a rapid rise in entrepreneurship. With an extensive network of accelerators, incubators, VCs, angel groups and coworking spaces, founders have all the tools they need to get their ideas off the ground.

 

Startup Guide Cairo takes an in-depth look at the startups and founders leading the way, and is packed with useful resources, expert advice and insightful interviews to help young entrepreneurs navigate the city’s startup scene and grow their business.
