Hadi Gaafar

After 15 years in Canada, Hadi moved back home to Egypt in 2019 and set out to be part of the growing entrepreneurial ecosystem. He joined a leading startup accelerator aiming to give FinTech startups the tools to grow, helping Egypt reach financial inclusion.

While working with Startupbootcamp, Rainmaking’s flagship accelerator, Hadi worked with a cohort of tech startups and graduated eight of them from ideation to product-market fit. He then joined Womena as accelerator program manager — industry agnostic and geared toward female founders. As the company pivoted into media, Hadi moved into production, becoming Womena’s production manager.
