Commenting on the announcement, Hasan Haider, Partner, 500 Startups MENA said: “We are extremely proud to announce the second batch of amazing startups at the Series A stage from all across the MENA region. We congratulate the second batch of the MENA Dojo Series A Program, who emerged successful after a very rigorous selection process. “Our partnership with global ecosystem builders, such as ‘500 Startups’, reflects Qatar Foundation’s mission to foster innovation locally and regionally. The first ‘Doha Dojo’ program was held by 500 Startups in collaboration with the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) in May 2017. With the first investment in the MENA region in 2012, 500 Startups has since committed to investments in over 80 startups across the region.
