I am Mohammed Al Jumie (Jumie for short, fewer syllables & more fun), An octopus on roller skates, PhD, founder, travel junkie, angel investor, health coach, filmmaker, percussionist, and a new F&B entrepreneur. Starting and growing a business isn’t just about having a great idea—it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey, but being part of a community offers support, motivation, and inspiration to keep you moving forward. I’m here to do three things for you (with you):
1-Invite you to awesome events and connect you with the right people and resources to support your journey, whether you need help with fundraising, talent acquisition, growth strategies, or mentorship. If you’re looking for a partner (co-founder) for your next great venture, this is the place to find them.
2- Help you discover new opportunities, whether you’re building your next big thing or looking to invest.
3- Find inspiration from engaging stories, panel discussions, and success journeys from people with varied backgrounds and perspectives—so that you feel seen, heard, and empowered.
4- Weekly Brief: Introducing the 4-3-2-1 Weekly Brief. Each week, I’ll dig through 12 hours of content to deliver to you: must-know local news from the startup world. 🕵️, ideas or quotes to spark your interests.💡 short stories to inspire and delight. 💥 and one question to ponder 🤯
Great things happen when people come together with purpose—because no one builds greatness alone. Together, let's build a thriving ecosystem of creativity and opportunity.
