Описание: From Startup Scaling at Careem to Venture Capital at Shorooq — Omer Zabit shares his insights and lessons on this episode of The Perfect Pitch Podcast by Lucidity Insights. Host and Founder of Lucidity Insights, Erika Welch sits down with Omer to unpack these lessons from being part of building one of the Middle East’s biggest unicorns and now backing the next generation of founders at Shorooq.


Omer opens up about the mindsets that separate great founders from good ones — from operating in “Founder Mode” and “Beast Mode” to knowing when to take a sabbatical to reset and realign. He also shares how AI is reshaping the startup landscape, making it faster, cheaper, and easier than ever to build… and why he thinks Dubai is the best place in the world to build a business today. Plus, we dive into Shorooq’s investment thesis, what the firm is looking for in early-stage founders, and why operational experience gives investors a unique edge.
