Tarek Fahim & How Endure Capital Invests In People
Manage episode 253028197 series 2616123
Tody Tarek Fahim runs Endure Capital - a successful VC based in Palo Alto, California. He was also one of the early investors in the ride-hailing app Careem which recently got acquired by Uber.
Tarek was born and raised in Kuwait by Egyptian engineer parents. His parents set an example by helping others in the community.
This lesson in helping others towards fulfillment as a human being pushed him forward all throughout his life. This is why he created an NGO Alboraq while studying at the university as an engineer.
Later in his career, he always felt this itch for helping others more than just working as an engineer. This led him to study his MBA, then starting his own startup from scratch later helping other entrepreneurs as a VC.
At the end of the day, we invest in people. Companies may succeed or fail. People are the right thing to "bet" on.
