KMT [say: kemet] is #pharaonic for creating order after chaos. A hub for #Cairo's #UrbanTech community and 🏡 to @ProgrssCities @CairoHackers @Bey2ollak
Here’s why some of the prominent entrepreneurs and investors around the world met up at Egypt's @KMTHouse.

#AudienceInteraction: To have an impact doesn't mean it needs to be with the poor. But to have a meaningful impact on life [in general] is also important.
The #DonutEconomy: When there is a safe space to do your business and, at the bottom, it has the social norms you don't want to surpass and at the top, the planetary norms that keep us safe.
"If we consider women empowerment and gender equality as an impact - having funds that have a focus on women, I think it is really impactful." - #OrcasStartup
"There is almost a competition between the ministry of investment, telecom, trade and industry - so many of them. So everyone now sees there is a value proposition they should get on and try to invest in." #Egypt#StartupEgypt#BusinessEgypt
"Business is sometimes very difficult in Egypt. If it's going to be difficult anyways and startups are of the highest risks - I think you should also think about impact." Eslam Khedr of Erktaz Capital, Egyptian Arab Land Bank
