recommended the bid made by majority shareholder TC Mena Holding to acquire the remaining 62.4% of the company or a minimum of 50% plus one share to shareholders, it said in a <a target=\"_blank\"

TC currently owns 37.6% of GCC. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Market reax:<\/strong> Gulf Cement\u2019s shares were up 6.06% to AED 0.7 yesterday, according to market data. The company\u2019s share price has been on a downward trend since 2005.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Buying the dip: <\/strong>The potential transaction checks all the boxes to qualify for what\u2019s called a \u201cdistressed asset acquisition,\u201d with the buyer taking advantage of the company\u2019s weak financial position and cheap share price with the goal of turning it around to become profitable and create higher value for shareholders. TC is \u201cpursuing this acquisition to enhance GCC\u2019s operational efficiency, reinforce its market position, and drive long-term value creation for all stakeholders,\u201d it said in the offer document.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next: <\/strong>The general assembly is scheduled to convene on Thursday 17 April \u2014 pushed back from 11 April \u2014 to mull the offer, which is also pending regulatory approvals from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and the ADX. Should the transaction go through, Gulf Cement would continue to operate independently and retain its trade name post-acquisition, with no major changes in the cards.<\/p>\n<p

Speaking to us this week is Khaled Talhouni (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ae.linkedin.com\/in\/khaledtalhouni\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), co-founder and managing partner at Nuwa Capital. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My name is Khaled Talhouni. <\/strong>I\u2019ve been in the VC space for about 18 years, and have done about 200 investments. I\u2019m the co-founder and managing partner of Nuwa Capital. We\u2019re an early-stage venture capital firm looking at investing in early-stage tech companies across the Middle East and North Africa, particularly focused on the GCC, so UAE and Saudi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The key challenge we wanted to address was the lack of truly focused earl<\/strong><strong>y-stage firms in the region. <\/strong>We thought there was still a lot of room for that \u2014 firms that really concentrate on early-stage opportunities and founders, especially in this part of the world. We wanted to be supremely founder-friendly and very helpful to our founders when we invested, and equally very transparent with our own investors, creating true partnerships with them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There are definitely some founder traits we look for. <\/strong>Founders who\u2019ve had some startup experience, that\u2019s always a big plus. It gives us more confidence they know what they\u2019re in for. But beyond that, they need a reasonable sense of self-confidence. That said, they also have to be receptive to feedback, especially from the market. One of the best predictors of success, in our view, is the founder\u2019s ability to evolve and pivot their business over time. You need to have that balance between confidence in your vision and the ability to adapt. Having a strong positive feedback loop is critical.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At Nuwa, I basically oversee the firm as a whole.<\/strong> I help manage the team, direct relationships with our investors, and push forward our investment thesis. I also get involved in sourcing and executing investments, and I do direct investments myself as well. I sit on a number of boards across our portfolio. So it\u2019s very much a 360-degree role \u2014 strategic and operational, but still very hands-on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I try to clear my inbox on a daily basis<\/strong>, which is super important for me to stay organized. I don\u2019t always succeed, but that\u2019s a key habit for me. I also use WhatsApp a lot for communication, and I try to zero that out every day too. Again, not always successful, but I try. Structuring the firm\u2019s operations around recurring weekly meetings like pipeline and portfolio management also helps us stay aligned and on top of things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I used to be a morning gym person. <\/strong>I\u2019d wake up around 6:45, have two, sometimes three, shots of espresso as a pre-workout, and then park near the office and walk to the gym, which is about 1.5 km away. I\u2019d do strength training, then walk back another 1.5 km. So by mid-morning, I\u2019d already walked around 7-10k steps. Then, I\u2019d get to the office, check my inbox and email, and start the day. More recently, I\u2019ve flipped my routine. So now I go to the gym in the evenings instead. That\u2019s become my way of unwinding after a long day. I also still walk a lot during that time. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>During those walks, I\u2019m always listening to something<\/strong>, either an audiobook or a podcast. I consume a lot of content, and it\u2019s usually a mix of three areas I\u2019m interested in: venture and tech, history, and fiction. That habit of always listening to something valuable or enriching is part of my daily rhythm. It\u2019s another way to unwind. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One podcast I\u2019ve really gotten into in the past six months is <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acquired.fm\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Acquired<\/a><\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>I\u2019ve been listening to it religiously. It\u2019s a business podcast that dives deep into the history of companies \u2014 like Facebook, for example. They go into a lot of depth, and the research is excellent. Each episode can be three to five hours long, and sometimes they break it into multiple episodes on a single company. You learn a lot from the journeys of these iconic businesses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One of the biggest trends we\u2019re seeing, which I think is going to have a huge impact, is <\/strong><strong>artificial intelligence. <\/strong>AI basically allows you to create a ton of efficiency. We expect that the pace at which companies are formed and scaled will increase significantly. At the same time, the cost of scaling a business will come down, just because the ability to scale becomes so much more cost-effective with AI tools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re going to see many more startups getting founded in the region.<\/strong> There\u2019s more validation now, more success stories people can point to. In the early days, we had companies like Careem and Souq. But now we\u2019re seeing exits like Jahez, and more like Tabby and Tamara gearing up for IPOs. Every success like this increases the odds that others will enter the market. Would-be founders look at these role models and think, \u201cI want to do that too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Next, for Nuwa, we want to keep investing<\/strong> \u2014 growing the firm, growing the fund, and helping our companies grow. It\u2019s an ongoing journey that\u2019s never-ending and continuous, and that\u2019s something I\u2019m very focused on, both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The best professional advice I ever received was around mindset. <\/strong>For a lot of people, our default setting is to be cynical, whether it\u2019s a new relationship, a new idea, an investment, or even a concept. The advice I got was to try and reset that default to being open. That doesn\u2019t mean you should be naive, but it means being very receptive to whatever comes through first, then filtering or reducing from there. So: avoid cynicism upfront.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n
