We had a chance to catch up with Saeed Alnofeli, Programs manager at Sheraa at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship festival 2019. Saeed told us about how Sheraa is actively involved in supporting the startup ecosystem from idea stage all the way to series funding stage. With 7000+ community members, and more than 72 graduated startups, Sheraa aims to cultivate the pipeline of future change makers by fostering a culture of experimentation and critical thought. Sheraa also engages with others in the entrepreneurship community to build a strong and globally-connected ecosystem, and position Sharjah as a vibrant startup hub. (Vision of Najla Al Midfa, CEO of Sheraa) From Joi gifts to ProTenders to Yalla pickup, Sheraa has supported several tech and tech-enabled startups that disrupt traditional industries and in total Sheraa startups have raised more than 50 million USD!
