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.

The future of cryptocurrency and blockchain in MENA
In this episode, I speak with Talal Tabbaa, the co-founder and COO of Jibrel; a Swiss blockchain development company building decentralized financial products on Ethereum. He is also the co-founder of CoinMENA, a regulated crypto-currency exchange and serves on the Board of Middle East Payment Services (MEPS) in Jordan.
We talk about:
✅ Why he started CoinMena
✅ Why he thinks the MENA region is ripe for crypto expansion
✅ How he navigates with uncertainty in the midst of financial regulation
✅ Some of his favorite books that inspired him
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes with startup founders in the Middle East and North Africa.
