This was the first year I was in Dubai for GITEX and North Star, and I have to admit I was very impressed. I met over 50 founders, and spoke with over 100 fellow VCs, Angels and PE investors. I am actually still following up on a list of 89 "short term follow ups" based on synergies and collaborations discussed during the days I was there.

We found some true gems at Expand North Star and listened to over 50 startup pitches , had detailed conversations with more than 15 and will be doing further discussions with some of them. There were many excellent speakers, including the unicorn founders, talking about topics that are super relevant to startups. I spent by far the most time at North Star compared to other events I have attended.
