As soon as we began running our www.gazastarts.com crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, potential partners reached out to us to ask how they could help. Thank you! We’re tremendously grateful for your support!
Your help makes Gaza’s startup ecosystem possible. Startups around the world depend on vibrant ecosystems to succeed. They need investment, mentorship, coaching, access to talent to hire, and doors opened to their first potential clients. That’s why we’re so excited to be part of a larger community. Together, we can turn Gaza’s nascent startup movement into a successful one that creates jobs, gives young Gazans opportunity, and brings their innovative ideas to the world.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. It takes a village to raise a startup, too… and now we know that it takes a village to run a successful crowdfunding campaign as well. Thank you to everyone who is a part of our community!fasdfasdfasdf
