Our friends Ahmed El Alfi and Khaled Ismail get some love from the Financial Times this morning. Heba Saleh turns in a nice piece in which El Alfi (wearing his Flat6Labs hat) makes the point that, “People with corporate experience are leaving careers to start companies. They are coming to us for funding at a more mature stage. Definitely, quality is improving and the support system around new companies is improving.” Ismail, meanwhile, wants the state to make it easier to start and shut-down companies.
