According to Startup MGZN, RiseUp CEO Abdulhameed Sharara stated, “This is the first pitch competition of its kind in MENA. There are a lot of incredibly inspiring early-stage startups in the region that we know deserve this opportunity to, not only participate in a value-driven programme like this, but also get to pitch at one of the most magnificent and iconic venues in the world, the Pyramids. It will surely catalyse the development of everyone participating.”
