Description
Startup Rising presents a surprising look at the surge of entrepreneurship that accompanied the uprisings in the Middle East. Despite the world's elation at the Arab Spring, little has changed politically in the region.
A seasoned angel investor, Christopher M. Schroeder travelled to several countries in the Middle East to observe thousands of talented and successful entrepreneurs willing to face cultural, legal, and societal impediments. He also saw major private equity firms, venture capitalists, and tech companies making significant bets on the region.
This book offers a timely look at the second stealth revolution in the Middle East, one that promises to reinvent it as a center of innovation and progress.
