130 - The Journey of a Startup: Overcoming Obstacles and Turning Them into Strengths - Kareem Mostafa

Kareem Mostafa is an Egyptian entrepreneur and marketer currently residing in Ireland. After completing his studies in marketing, he struggled to find an internship opportunity due to his visa status. Out of desperation, he stumbled upon the concept of startups and decided to give it a try. Despite a failed attempt at a restaurant marketing startup, Kareem decided to get a real job to maintain his legal status in the country. He worked at LinkedIn and then HubSpot, but the startup bug continued to linger. Inspired by his brother, who worked at Google, Kareem decided to give entrepreneurship one final shot. Together, they embarked on a new startup journey, hoping to not only succeed but also create job opportunities. Four years later, Kareem and his brother are still learning and growing in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
