Startup Oman to host Dubai-based entrepreneur

Muscat: The Sultanate’s only online platform created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs— Startup Oman—will be hosting Dubai-based entrepreneur, Loulou Khazen Baz, founder of Nabbesh at The Lounge on Sunday, January 31 at 6:30 p.m.
Baz is the winner of the United Arab Emirates’s (UAE’s) reality TV show “The Entrepreneur” (2012), securing dirham 2 million in funding, and is one of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s most successful and recognisable female entrepreneurs.
“The idea behind hosting this event is to inspire Omani entrepreneurs to think big and beyond their borders,” said Sherry Colbourne, managing partner, Startup Oman.
The theme of Startup Oman’s January events is focused on female entrepreneurship, starting with their caribou chats event, which featured Jokha Al Husaini of Shamookh Engineering and Ayesha Al Shoily, a licensed springboard trainer and coach.
“Hosting Khazen Baz wraps up the month on a high note leaving Omani SMEs looking forward to next month’s focus on technology as Startup Oman exists to inspire an entrepreneurial movement in Oman,” Colbourne said.
Startup Grind is a global entrepreneurial community made up of 215,000 entrepreneurs in 175 cities and 80 countries around the world. Founded by Derek Anderson in Silicon Valley, Startup Grind educates, inspires and connects entrepreneurs around the globe.
“We are excited to bring this calibre of event to Oman as the Startup Grind format infuses attendees with the community and energy needed to build global, successful businesses,” said Mahmood Zeyad, managing director of Startup Oman and event moderator.
