Hi there,
You’re receiving this because at some point you signed up for something I was sharing around startups, founders, and the Omani ecosystem.
I’ve been thinking of rebuilding and starting fresh for a while now, and I’ve committed to launching a newsletter in 2026, so here goes!
But first, let me take a moment to tell you more about what I’m doing now.
Over the past few years, my work has taken me deeper into startup coaching, investment readiness, and ecosystem work, especially here in Oman and across the region. I’ve had the privilege to work with +400 founders across the entire GCC, primiraly on pitch preparation and investment readiness.
I keep seeing a few key themes among founders, and I keep coming back to the same thought: founders need support and guidance across the different stages of their funding journey.
So I’m starting something simple called Node – Building Fundable Founders.
It’s a low-frequency newsletter where I share:
Honest reflections from the work I’m doing with founders
Practical insights around building fundable, resilient startups
Occasional ecosystem opportunities and updates that actually matter
No hype. No growth hacks. No weekly spam.
If this sounds useful to you, there are two easy ways to engage:
👉 You can hit reply and let me know what’s your biggest funding question and I’ll use that to shape what I share going forward.
👉 Or you can simply stay subscribed and read along.
If this isn’t relevant anymore, no problem at all. You can unsubscribe below.
Either way, thanks for being here at some point, and for the trust.
