With RiseUp Summit finally being upon us, many rising entrepreneurs are eagerly anticipating the disclosure of the under wraps schemes that made others hit it big. However, I decided to delve deep and get you exclusive parting shots, before anyone else, right from the HIPOs themselves. Who are the HIPOs? Well, HIPOs are the high potential startups that are on the verge of becoming future unicorns in Egypt’s startup ecosystem. Unicorns aside, with their exceptional business ideas, disruption, innovation and the size of their capital, they’ll be taking over a good portion of the market very soon.
Below are tips from the HIPOs on how to pull off your future business idea:
Dsqaures
“Bring together a passionate, dedicated and harmonized team so that your business grows before you know it. It’s all about the people!” – Marwan Kenawy, Founder and CEO at Dsquares
Instashop
“Success is not about forcing an idea to work out but about going from one idea to another until you find the one that works perfectly with you.” – John Tsioris, Founder and CEO at Instashop
Aqeed
“Don’t be afraid to fail! Great businesses are built by leaders who have a great sense of judgment, initially raised from experiencing failure multiple times. So, don’t let the fear of failure cripple you down and overshadow your dreams.” – Hadi Radwan, Chief Product Officer at Aqeed
Swvl
“In order for Swvl to exist, we had to get rid of the nine to five theory. At this place, we decided we’re all owners. Hard work is key and you can call us the company that happily never sleeps!” – Mostafa Kandil, Co-Founder and CEO at Swvl
Wuzzuf
“Success is not what people see in the news. It’s the effort behind the scenes, that a team exerts throughout the hectic journey of discovering what really works for your business. So, don’t be too thrilled by the shining headlines and mentions. Just focus on what really matters the most, which is making an impact.” – Ahmed Desouki, Head of Business Development at Wuzzuf
