We’re thrilled that we secured funding with investors we met at the event. NAKUL GARG Co-Founder USA The electricity in the air is great, people are fabulous, I enjoyed speaking, I enjoyed the crowd; it’s full of fun, lots of new ideas that you should definitely come and check it out. DIVYA GOKULNATH Co-Founder India I met a Founder at the GITEX event that is building a business that represented a gap in our portfolio. Since then, my fund has added a lot of post-investment value to the startup. We concluded the investment in December. JANADE DU PLESSIS Managing Partner South Africa Our participation in North Star resulted in us signing new business and partnerships with GITEX GLOBAL exhibitors across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and even as far afield as the Maldives. We realized how important the Middle East and Africa are, and look forward to setting up our regional office in the UAE. GEOFFREY COSTILHES Co-Founder France An impactful global event organized to meet leaders in tech, product and marketing. The best part was hearing about journeys of folks from different industries, where everyone wanted to help each other. I’m looking forward to being back in Dubai and inspire and grow the product community in the Middle East. MAYANK YADAV Director of Product It’s been amazing to be at NorthStar.
