Upcoming entrepreneurs need to get in contact with established ones to learn from them what they wish they knew when they started their entrepreneurial journey.
During the Palestine CleanTech Acceleration Program we make sure to give our startups this chance before they start implementing their Cleantech ideas for the Palestine CleanTech Innovation Competition.
Shatha Ajaj, women entrepreneur and founder of Modesta, joined us at Palestine Technopark, one of three Clean Tech Hubs in Palestine and the CleanTech Hub in the West Bank- to share her best business advice.
Shatha's recommendations included how to present a business idea and build a business story, but also how to connect with investors, choose the right ones, and convince them to fund your project.
Shatha’s main advice was to deal with one’s own startup as a special case: ”Just be yourself, believe in your idea and never question that you will face challenges, because it is always going to be hard, especially at the beginning”.
