Maha Mandour, founding partner of COREangels MEA: <\/strong>Each week, My Morning Routine looks at how a successful member of the community starts their day \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. Speaking to us this week is Maha Mandour (LinkedIn<\/a>), founding partner of COREangels MEA.<\/p>\n

My name is Maha Mandour, founding partner of COREangels MEA and managing director<\/strong> of PTS Investments Holdings.<\/strong> Three years ago, I had a dream to become part of the venture capital ecosystem. I come from a tech background, but most of my experience was in the venture building model, which is why I was interested in launching PTS as a venture building company in the MEA region. We\u2019ve been working with two arms \u2014 one of them being COREangels MEA, an angel network fund. We now have five companies in our portfolio, and we\u2019re still growing further in the market.<\/p>\n

Being managing director is not an easy job. <\/strong>I don\u2019t really work on a daily routine, as much as on a weekly routine. My day-to-day responsibilities involve following up with our managing partners, our technical team, and our business operations team on a daily basis. However, on some days, I\u2019m just answering emails and attending online meetings. I\u2019m also a single mom \u2014 so that\u2019s also a huge part of my day. My kids are usually in the office with me, and they even get assigned some tasks to do on their vacations.<\/p>\n

I received a diploma from the Information Technology Institute (ITI) <\/strong>with a specialization in triple play services, back when that was still a novel field in Egypt. When I was done studying, I found myself being asked to open a whole new department for a number of different companies using what I learned at ITI. So, I had to do everything from R&D all the way to selling a final product and building a team for companies I worked for, and that\u2019s something I\u2019ve had to do several times for multiple entities. It made me feel as though I was a mini company of sorts. But, I was really passionate about it. <\/p>\n

Those experiences are also why I\u2019m a big believer in the corporate venture builder model.<\/strong> It\u2019s a way to ensure that entrepreneurs aren\u2019t alone when they\u2019re building their startups, that they have people around them that incubate them and help their ideas grow. It\u2019s definitely a trend that I see continuing in the coming period. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m definitely passionate about the work and I enjoy the challenges.<\/strong> Even with raising the kids and all the challenges that come with working in PTS \u2014 to me, it\u2019s not work, it\u2019s a passion. It\u2019s one thing to just go do your set of tasks for the day and go home, and another thing entirely to be doing what you like \u2014 and I like what I\u2019m doing a lot.<\/p>\n

PTS acts as a venture builder and we have a strategic vision to build companies into<\/strong> complete ecosystems under the umbrella of PTS Holdings.<\/strong> We have a company that works on the programs and projects, we have the venture studio, and then we have COREangels MEA. It\u2019s a member of COREangels International, which works to create cross-global investment openings among different regions. It\u2019s a network of 11 funds, and our portfolio currently holds 90 companies. It\u2019s a network of experienced business angels.<\/p>\n

I met the founders of COREangels International three years ago <\/strong>when the company wasn\u2019t focused on our region at the time. But I was drawn to their model because they don\u2019t just fund a startup \u2014 they also mentor the startups that they invest in. I don\u2019t come from a place of just wanting to put some funds in a startup and stop there, so I was drawn to the idea of helping startups with finding where we can add value. <\/p>\n

We help startups expand both within the MEA region and beyond,<\/strong> and we provide them with the venture studio services to help their growth. We also follow up with our startups on a quarterly basis and provide hands-on guidance, which decreases their risks of failure, and we provide startups that we think have potential with the chance to acquire more funds through a fundraiser with an international investment committee.<\/p>\n

AI startups are a particularly attractive sector for investors in the current moment.<\/strong> Fintech in general is a huge market \u2014 especially in Africa. Agritech is another booming industry that investors have been attracted to in the region. In terms of trends in the VC industry, I think corporate venture capital will be booming in the region very soon.<\/p>\n

I enjoy reading Enterprise, but I also check LinkedIn and Twitter first thing in the morning<\/strong> to see what I missed during the night.<\/strong> I wake up at 5 am, perform the Fajr prayer, and then I have an hour before the kids wake up for school \u2014 the most precious hour of the day. I\u2019m not a big breakfast person, I\u2019ll usually just have my coffee and check my emails before waking up the kids and heading to the office at around 8 am, where I have another hour to myself before catching up with our operations manager on the status of the tasks at hand. I then have a break at around 2 pm, where I go pick the kids up from school and bring them over to the office to have a quick snack together before they have to do their schoolwork.<\/p>\n

One constant in my day is having to watch a movie with my kids during the last hour of<\/strong> my day before we all go to sleep.<\/strong> If they both want to watch different things, I\u2019ll have to spend an hour with each of them separately \u2014 but it has to happen. Another constant for me is the Fajr prayer. When I don\u2019t start my day with it, I always feel like something\u2019s wrong. Even when I\u2019m on vacation, I\u2019ll still do my prayer, have my coffee, and go back to sleep. <\/p>\n

Back when I was in fourth grade, I already had a notebook where I wrote down all my <\/strong>tasks<\/strong> and how long I\u2019d need to complete each one. So I\u2019ve been organized ever since I can remember, and it\u2019s carried over until today. I don\u2019t have a notebook now, but my mind is always organized in the morning, when I plan out my day and keep note of everything I need to do throughout the entire week. <\/p>\n

My goals on the personal and professional levels are one and the same.<\/strong> On a professional level, I\u2019d like to see PTS continue to expand and bridge the gap between the MEA region and the rest of the world. On a personal level, everyone at PTS is like a family member to me. I dream of having my two kids, Salma and Youssef, one day being at my side at PTS and taking care of the work alongside me and the rest of the team. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t necessarily want to separate my work from my life \u2014 on the contrary, I enjoy<\/strong> mixing them together. <\/strong>I like to keep my kids in the loop on problems I\u2019m facing at work and some of the challenges we have to overcome, and then I hear about the problems that they face during their days as well.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to switch off and relax, you\u2019ll find me hanging out with my kids and their<\/strong> friends,<\/strong> playing Playstation with them, and throwing a few parties for them over at our house. I\u2019m also a big fan of media that focuses on female empowerment. Whether it\u2019s a book, a show, or whatever else, I find it really inspiring and I just keep searching for more content that centers around that. <\/p>\n

My dad was my role model, but he never gave me any direct advice<\/strong> \u2014 he just told me that he\u2019s confident in my ability to make my own decisions. But he always said that everyday, God will always give you what you\u2019re due in some way, even if some things aren\u2019t going well. So if work is rough, at least the kids are okay \u2014 and if there are challenges with the kids, at least work is good, and so on. It\u2019s a way for me to always see the glass half full, and be grateful for where I am at any given moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
