Exclusive: What It Takes to Build a Private Equity Firm in Abu Dhabi
In this episode with Huda Al Lawati, CEO of Aliph Capital, we have a conversation about private equity, entrepreneurship, and the rollercoaster investment outlook.When it comes to coffee, it’s more about the culture and ritual than just the drink itself. From there, we dive into her journey of launching Aliph Capital during peak global uncertainty. She explains how the leadership in the Gulf during that time gave her the confidence to start something new. We also explore how the Gulf region has become a much more entrepreneur-friendly environment in recent years. But, as Huda points out, fundraising remains one of the toughest challenges for first-time private equity managers. It’s one thing to raise money, but real success in this industry isn’t about that—it’s about returning money to investors.Huda Al Lawati is the founder of Aliph Capital, an alternative investment manager focused on mid-market private equity across the Gulf (GCC) region. She has been in the industry for over 20 years and was also featured in the Top 100 Businesswomen in the Middle East by Forbes. ---- 📌 Subscribe to never miss episodes of the You’re in Business podcast: @ygemedia .
