Tenmou announces the second MENA Angel Investors Forum, in partnership with Punchline Media

The forum will focus on providing an opportunity for high-potential companies from around the MENA region to pitch their ides to investors. There will also be an exchange of experiences in seed and early stage investments between investors from the MENA region and the rest of the world. The forum will include a number of workshops for entrepreneurs, covering topics such as how to present to, and network with, investors. Potential angel investors will also be able to learn about best practices when investing in startup businesses.

Building on the success of the inaugural event held in April which attracted 150+ investors from Bahrain and across the region, we expect the second event to draw up to 500 attendees, and provide outstanding business opportunities to exhibitors, entrepreneurs, investors, and sponsors alike. With a focus on Bahrain and MENA investment opportunities, Tenmou has confirmed participants from Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, and across the Gulf. "We are actively promoting the event internationally with the intention of attracting up to one third of our investors from outside the MENA region," said Ahmed Alsayed from Punchline Media.

Tenmou provides mentorship and capital investment to the next generation of high-potential, innovative Bahraini entrepreneurs from the seed stage through its network of locally established businessmen and successful entrepreneurs. So far, Tenmou has assisted seven innovative start-up businesses to make their ideas a reality.

Tenmou CEO, Hasan Haider comments "Following the success of the first MENA Angel Investors event in April of this year, we are delighted to partner with Punchline Media to host the MENA Angel Investors Forum here in Bahrain as a regular landmark event for entrepreneurs and angel investors in the region. I would like to thank all of the investors in Tenmou for their support, and Mumtalakat for their sponsorship of this worthwhile initiative. We hope to spread awareness in the region on the potential of angel investments and to give the next generation of entrepreneurs opportunities for funding and success. We are proud to take this initiative and to align ourselves with one of the goals of the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030 - namely to increase the diversity of careers throughout the Kingdom."

The ambition is that the conference will be the place in the MENA region for entrepreneurs and investors to come together and find funding and investments.
