A show that explores the world of founders; their disappointments, their wins, their personal lives, and how they deal with adversity.
Host Yasmeen Turayhi interviews startup founders and entrepreneurs in emerging markets in 1:1 conversations where the audience will learn about some of the biggest lessons these founders learned on their journey from the personal to the professional and share how they keep themselves motivated.
The Middle East was built on the foundation of commerce and sales and the spirit of entrepreneurship pulsates through the veins of the region. These founders have a unique lens about what it takes to build and grow a company in the Middle East and North Africa. Oftentimes, these founders have found ways to deliver on the promise of their product within an early or non-existent ecosystem. In some cases, they had to build both the product and the ecosystem.
Yasmeen Turayhi is a product marketing expert in Silicon Valley and Board member of TechWadi, the leading non-profit organization building bridges between Silicon Valley and the Middle East and North Africa region.

How to create an accessible healthcare option for everyone with Jalil Allabadi, founder of Altibbi
Today’s episode is with Jalil Allabadi who co-founded Altibbi in 2011 with a mission to provide accessible healthcare to everyone. During the past 8 years, Altibbi has grown to become the largest digital health provider in the Arab world with +2 million pages of content, 24/7 Telehealth service in 12 Arab countries and +500,000 daily users.
Jalil is an Endeavor entrepreneur since 2014, member of the Entrepreneurs Organization, member of the Board of Trustees at Royal Health Awareness Society and most recently was one of 17 global leaders to receive the 2019 Schwab Award.
I was so inspired by Jalil’s path to building Altibbi, and the road he took to become one of the leading healthcare platforms in the region.
We talk about the following and much more:
✅ His family history in the healthcare space, and his family’s work in creating an Arabic medical dictionary
✅ Why he decided to continue in this ecosystem, but use technology to help grow and scale it
✅ The moment he realized he had product market fit, and how he connects with his audience
✅ The road from bootstrapping to fundraising with investors
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes with startup founders in the Middle East and North Africa!
