Today was a remarkable day of learning in Dubai.

Met with founders from a dozen different startups, investing in three. They were all smart, humble, and exceedingly passionate.

Had lunch with an industry leader and two officials to discuss nurturing their startup scene.

Had dinner (pic from restaurant below) w/ a local VC championing edu and health care startups.

Really bullish on MEA startups as they transition away from sole reliance on oil as share of GDP. So proud of the next generation of entrepreneurs here.
