About The Event
The Makloubeh Series is a dedicated educational and networking initiative aimed at bridging the knowledge gap for Palestinian entrepreneurs. Named after the traditional Palestinian dish, the series symbolizes the “flipping” of traditional challenges into opportunities through shared wisdom. The mission of this series is to provide practical, “in-the-trenches” insights rather than just theory, helping founders build resilient businesses that can compete on both a regional and global scale. This inaugural course focuses on the twin pillars of any successful venture: generating sustainable sales and achieving consistent marketing growth.

- Operator-Led Learning: Lessons from speakers who have direct experience with the specific economic and logistical hurdles of the Palestinian ecosystem.
- Interactive Q&A: A dedicated opportunity for attendees to engage with speakers and seek advice on their specific startup challenges.
- Networking: Connection with a community of resilient founders, investors, and ecosystem enablers.
Featured Speakers
- Basem Abu Dagga: A prominent VC investor and the founder of The Learning Curve Holdings. With over 20 years of experience, he is a specialist in building and scaling ventures throughout the GCC.
