Episode notes
AI Lowers The Barrier To Entry
- Karima El Hakim: AI is a key for inclusion because it breaks language and access barriers for regional founders.
- AI enables avatars, multilingual decks, and no-code builds that democratize participation outside capitals.
Arabic Content Is Critically Underrepresented
- Arabic digital content is under 10% which weakens cultural expression and narrative control online.
- Low Arabic content plus external distribution risks allow platforms to silence regional voices overnight.
Do Due Diligence On Investors
- Do vet investors as thoroughly as you vet founders before making introductions or partnerships.
- Ask if they are actively deploying capital and check fund status to avoid wasted founder time.
