MUSCAT: Start-up Oman, the Sultanate’s only online platform created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs and the designated chapter of Start-up Grind in Oman, has hosted Start-up Grind recently.


Featured on Start-up Grind’s stage was Abdulaziz al Loughani, Vice Chairman of the Kuwait National Fund for SMEs Development, a $7 billion independent public institution responsible for developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Kuwait.


Al Loughani is the former Managing Partner of Talabat.com, which is a pioneer of the online food ordering industry in the Middle East. Housing a wide variety of cuisines from international and local restaurants, Talabat is the go-to destination for food.


Over 70 entrepreneurs, students and young professionals joined the event at Innovation Factory space in Knowledge Oasis to hear Al Loughani’s story to entrepreneurship. During the event, Abdul Aziz shared his experience in establishing a business, saying: The most important aspects of starting a successful company are three things: Finding the right team fit, simplifying your solution for a customer’s pain point, as well as a significant and scalable market size”.


Previously, Abdul Aziz was a Director at Global Capital Management, the alternative investments arm of Global Investment House “Global” and was responsible for establishing a Venture Capital practice at Global.


He has played a major role in managing key investments within the Private Equity Group of Global by handling various assignments on corporate restructuring, business planning, deal structuring, due diligence and managing portfolio companies to exit.


“We are thrilled to feature an experienced tech entrepreneur such as Abdulaziz on the Startup Grind stage” says, Start-up Oman Co-founder Ali Daud. “


His experience showcases how to succeed in developing tech solutions for everyday problems, and how to expand an app into a regional product. We hope that Abdul Aziz’s story will inspire Omani entrepreneurs develop apps that solve the problems they face.”
