Interventions we started with 2 products their abuse prevention and their beauties management both using the behavioral science to let people use a 16 week of 3 more live some of the case in program that produces clinical outcomes for the wizards from tell us about whats known as an on demand Laundry Service or the past couple of years we have built scalable technologies to help people do their laundry hassle free to shorter period of time so watch know whats on the over 4 x.

I believe it was an existing idea but not not in the region so how we came i would watch know was we saw that how it could actually change your day to day life and impact people in their daily life saving time for more important items in their life of Friends Family or work. Its not about the idea about how we went ahead and launched washed know in 10 days of having this idea that made it different imagine saying to you how did you get the idea for a jew being well. People with their beauties they face a lot of problems here they have to manage their diabetes 24 hours a day 7 days a week and what they get now is basically 4 times maximum to see their doctors in a year and that leaves them struggling with their diet exercise and glucose level control so we thought that we need to give them like a remote care to their kid or so you know like we help them with all this struggles so thats why we wanted to create. A trust a solution that both cater and who wants the care to be you know to use them so thats what we choose the work in the Digital Products which is actually kind of described by the doctor to his patients which means the solutions can produce clinical outcomes so when its it has clinical outcomes that means the doctor himself cant describe it as a medicine so thats why the patient will trust it and we actually run a lot of Clinical Trials here and there and we have some kind of like approved that works and of course theres a lot of Clinical Evidence out there come on we can we can take a look at them and see so thats why we were like yes we need this solution in the middle is because the privilege of diabetes is increasing and thats really like every 6 seconds somebody dies because of diabetes or like having a lot of complications that its actually prevent them from. Like productivities if i mean that prevents them from produce to his family or you know like to live a healthier life but like any business im sure there are challenges the youve had to face to tell us about some of the obstacles the you faced in setting up this business particularly in this region well you know there are 3 top challenges like they have to face like one of them is fundraising hiring the right stuff and number 3 is my ties in the business to ski. Well i think the 3rd one is like its pretty common between all the startups and like internationally in the region but the 1st 2 is really you know its very difficult here in the region number one is because like you need to fund your business at the beginning and and this is an idea and you need somebody to believe in it right and in this reason i heard you talking about Silicon Valley saying about is get used to this kind of like ideas startups kind of thing and theyve seen some kind of like a successful startups make a lot of money right but here in the region a lot of engines that we have money we have engine investors we have people like. Ready to invest and the idea stage were not in the startups is because they dont have a previous experience and as well as they dont see a lot of startups actually making money so thats because my opinion thats like a very big challenge to all the startups in the region but now its different right now its different we witness a lot of like cooper like witness right we witness kareem and moves like they have a very successful so it is now so the mindset is its changing now they look for the Creative Ideas people who can actually learn these ideas to invest in but at the beginning we were blaming a lot of people like you have money why dont you invest and we didnt know that the mindset is. The 2nd one is like of course like hiring staff or for your startups this is basically like finding the right talent the right people that are people is actually ready to come to your door and and wake up every single day and work with you to take your startup in the 2nd level so i think these 2 in the middle east these 2 challenges are the Biggest Challenges we face during our startup like it is with the activity and the feed you talked earlier about how your business washing our is not a unique one there are other versions of it elsewhere in the world but what are some of the challenges that they you faced in this region setting it up. Thankfully with that with them. High Internet Penetration and high tech adoption in the in the region those things have been sorted out for us so that this wasnt a challenge but challenges as. Was initially in that its hard to have people put money in the preceding stage or in the world were really early start up stage people would actually throw in a lot of money once once youre successful or once you have a lot of orders but you have to have people trust in you from your idea to a launch stage thats one of the most challenging things in the region i feel are also. Tech skills when it comes to hiring techs jobs this is a stack start ups this is something that we face on a on a on like on an everyday basis when you are when you have a startup going on over here so you are either forced to outsource to save the money or you are forced to have a tech stuff inhouse at a very high or higher price how of the incubator is helped you these are the things that been set up by the government here in qatar so we have gone through the incubation experience and we hear it has been amazing its not about the financing but the other part of the other part of the incubation experience that they actually provide including access to investors including access to a lot of events and networks as well as other other not financial but indirectly financial things like helping you get your monthly subscriptions for you for your tech or tech stack of financing or tech stocks or which which comes as a part of many of the incubation procedures over here so this kind of been like really really helpful but i think there is a long way to go in terms of putting a small preceding mound in and beginning stage start ups as well as Getting Started mentors to. Mentors who are actually failed or have a have had a starter before to to mentor other startups. Megia how how easy or difficult has it been for you for your business to access money its been difficult it was an easy journey it was difficult like we had to go through a lot of pitches a lot of you know meeting here in there and we were still a lot of time to be honest the trying to get some engine investment into the company but again i think this is the mindset now is changing as my feet said now i think that that is doing a very good job and educating the engine and businesses to give them like an easy access to these creative and innovative people into producing cutter especially now they do a lot of like conferences and in particular incubators so they can actually match whoever wants and who are interested in Tech Startups or linguists and in take. Ideas and with and supernews who have this great ideas and how as how as business like help the ecosystem this is kind of the sort of middle east version of. But when you talk to just a random selection people here a lot most people who dont have that app on their on their phones they have and i dont know if its more popular elsewhere. In the middle east but thats the impression here i mean how do you how is the success of that company help the ecosystem well i think it gives a lot of big push to people here in the middle is to say well if you can do it now i mean as a as an interpreter and i have a startup i can do it as well i. E. May disagree with you on the you know a lot of people have given you a lot of people have i think. Has a very grounded like a data base thats why you know like the interested in buying and buying. I think now that is on the middle east. With this big news about like 3000000000. Dollars acquisition for karim i think now like the International Players they look at the middle east as well that is something year which is this something that was missing to be honest like trying to get some fun like we we went to different conferences and europe or in the u. S. And they have 0 interest in investing in start ups and me in the region but now i think with kareem and moves who until there are there is here like the eye on the local and the reason and the reason startups so i think the give us a big favor and we also have like a big responsibility is so we have to move fast we have to say well yes we can do it but we have to have a creative innovative business more than a berthing with us where we can scale fast and feed i want to i want to ask you about some of this as well what sort of a message did it send when bought caring for 3000000000 dollars about the kind of the viability of business is like that in the middle east globally had it had all the investor eyeballs turning to middle east and the mena region globally now in delhi if you look at the juice region bush had the confidence of a lot of startup founders startup investors who are already here and people who actually would prefer to work for a startup but for me the most exciting part i found i find is the korean founders themselves as start of founders when they began and amount of money they might have received from from the whole deal. Im sure theyre going to invest in a lot of other regional startups im sure theyre going to theyre going to help a lot of regional startups and and because they themselves have lived the story and theyre really would believe that so when someone who came from came as a start a founder and the and you get bought out or you get my. Acquired by a Bigger Company im sure when they plan to invest in future a lot of Regional Companies would benefit from from that so globally yes a lot of investors have their focus now on the middle east there really feel that to there is money over here i mean theres there is like future money over here if you invest now and i think thats the biggest message but then across from the deal and i want to ask you both as well what sort of impact to the businesses like yours have on job creation in the region particularly among among young people here so its very well known that you know like interpreters and who whatever they have a sort of they actually decrease their employment percentage that actually helps a lot of people to come and learn from mistakes we receive a lot from tunisia for example they can come you know like to like help us and building the company we have a lot of smart people joining now. It really helps the the whole ecosystem to actually come together and build the right ecosystem for start up scene and what you experience and that the fetus for us watch now is currently a team of less than 10 people over here in cutter and we have a back office in india where more people work but in terms of giving this experience to to the internes is one of the biggest impact i think we have made as a startup in terms of job creation because they go through the whole process of start of founders think. How we face the challenges how do we actually takes risks calculated risk and how they can be an entrepreneur in the future so then when they finish their schools or when their break in between the college breaks so we have in turn thanks also to the eco system players over here who actually bring us into ons like the Digital Incubation Center so i think the biggest impact we are on the job market is not direct. But and directly by imparting this knowledge and. The future. All right were going to have to bring this to an end.
