Conversations with entrepreneurs driving science, tech, and change.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with founders around the world — people building companies from Cairo to Cambridge, from biotech to deeptech. Each one brings a unique lens, but they share something powerful: the drive to solve big problems and shape the future.
These interviews celebrate that spirit. They’re not about hype or headlines — they’re about real journeys, thoughtful insights, and the grit behind innovation. Whether you're an aspiring founder or a seasoned operator, I hope you find inspiration here.
