Success storiesWhat our clients say

Jeff HarbachCEO, Kauffman Fellows
“What a week last week! From our perspective, the Summit was a HUGE success. The Fellows had an unforgettable experience in Dubai! They met with many LPs, GPs and entrepreneurs. And most importantly, they had an amazing time with each other and with each of you in Dubai and in the UAE. About 75% of our group were in the UAE for the first time. I don't think there is a single person that came that isn't excited to come back...and soon.“
