In May, Tenmou hosted the second MENA Angel Investment Summit, which WOMENA attended. The event hosted at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manama brought together various startups and entrepreneurs from around the Middle East for a two day summit.

WOMENA Cofounder Chantalle joined Tenmou, Oqal and Cairo Angels, fellow angel groups in the Middle East, on a panel at the Summit where they discussed the various difficulties facing startups and investors in the region.

The launch of the MENA Angel Investment Network (MAIN) was also announced, of which WOMENA is a member. Members of MAIN will get access to deal flow and share best practices and experiences with investment in the region.

It was exciting to see the passion of various entrepreneurs and investors in the Middle East. We are continually reminded at events like these how much is going on in the region and how far the startup and investor communities have developed in such a short space of time. Who would have thought 10 years ago there would be enough people to bring together from the Middle East for a two day summit on angel investment?!
