Being part of the startup landscape here in the UAE, both as an investor and someone involved in building startups, I've found Encubay to be incredibly valuable. For instance, at today’s event, we had investors and female founders who are actively raising funds all in the same room, networking and connecting. That, to me, is the strongest testament to the power of a well-curated event: bringing the right people together to make things happen.

Avneet & Deeksha, I have known them since last three years now. And I feel so happy that we started connecting through power circles in Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai & Delhi, And now here we are in Dubai doing the right kind of networking, helping each other and taking a major leap in helping female founders to a greater extent in whatever field that they require.

As a woman founder, I’ve had a positive experience thanks to a supportive community and valuable advice from fellow founders. It has been fantastic, enjoying the passionate and supportive environment created by events connecting founders in India and the UAE. If you’re curious about Encubay, I highly recommend visiting them personally, they’re making a significant impact in the ecosystem.

The energy in the room was amazing, a lot of great wonderful speakers, Deeksha and Avneet did a wonderful job organizing everything tonight. We have a lot of similarities through what we do, especially with women in business and empowering these ideas, so we were really pleased to come on board with Encubay.

Encubay supports women in a way that is enabling a lot for you. So I think for me, they've helped me get funding ready. They've helped me feel more confident about what we're trying to build. Because you know, when you go to the market, when you try to talk to people, you will hear a lot of people saying no, this is not big enough, this is not good enough, this is too early, this and that. But I think the people at Encubay once they believe in you, they just stand by you all through.

There isn’t so much that you can learn from my story… because we all have our own stories. We all have our own homes, families and careers from before we became entrepreneurs. One of the best things about being gathered here with Encubay is learning about your businesses and actually discovering products we can use. I think that’s one of the best things we can bring to each other.

I love seeing women who are open, dressed for success, powerful - yet friendly, loving and sweet. The energy here is inspiring for me. In my 92 talks, I don't think I've seen such a vibrant audience yet.
