INSPIRING WORDS FROM THE COMMUNITY
We had an incredible experience meeting a large audience of investors. 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
It’s been amazing to be at NorthStar. In the past few years, it’s really amazing
to see the changes in the quality of the startups, the creators, seeing more
women creating the startups and what an incredibly well-run event.
DAVID COHEN
Founder
USA
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
