Flat6Labs and North Star collaborate to bring the brightest startups from Flat6Labs’ Ignite Program to Expand 2023 in Dubai Harbor. Flat6Labs has announced a partnership with North Star to hold a Demo Day — showcasing startups from the latest edition of the Flat6Labs Ignite Program — at this year’s edition of Expand, the increasingly popular startup event taking place at Dubai Harbour from 15 to 18 October 2023. The seven startups presenting pitches at the Expand North Star 2023 Demo Day have already raised seed funding anywhere between US$500,000 and US$1.5 million, and this platform will give them the opportunity to gain further follow-on funding. “The MENA VC ecosystem surpassed US$3 billion in 2022,” said Trixie LohMirmand at Expand North Star. “And as it outgrows colocation at GITEX, Expand North Star is the best venue in the world right now to connect investors to the latest rising stars.
