  • ?One word I would say is 'Amazing'. The best thing I learned here is how to make the thinking process more structured and how to challenge some of the ideas that you have in mind, your business model and how to approach for investments. My background is very much on private equity investments but despite that, I learned so much more over the last three days.?

  • It's a very very good program actually, helped to shape my idea by pushing structure to my business plan. Even though I am not at the early stage of planning, but this program helped me get a clearer idea of how I can start, how I can get funding and how I can plan my scale-up.? Facilitators of the program have a very good understanding of the business and he helped me put a better perspective into my business.

  • ?Yostartups have added greatly to Bahrain?s Startup ecosystem. Their workshops in partnership with CH9 have proved to be of tremendous value to our startups. Challenging them to ask the hard questions at the appropriate time. Validation is an important step in the process of starting a new venture and Yostartup?s excels at this aspect. Given their plans we expect Yostartups to also contribute in other ways to our StartupBahrain initiative going forward?

  • I am actually very satisfied that I came to Bahrain for this event because it helped me clarify my thoughts about my product and helped me understand different sides of it. I also learned about the overall business environment in Bahrain and what it offers to the newly established companies and startups unlike what we see in Europe.
