Ray Dargham, Founder and CEO’s Statement:
“Since I relocated to the US about 2 years ago, I’ve also personally become more interested than ever in connecting MENA with the biggest economy in the world. Today we’re sharing one of the most exciting Step announcements we’ve ever made. Step, a Dubai-born platform, is expanding to Silicon Valley with our first Step San Francisco conference taking place on August 15th, 2024.
With our mission to enable 1 million founders around the world, Step SF will not only serve as a bridge between MENA, Emerging Markets, and Silicon Valley – but will also build a local community for SF founders and investors, especially global and multicultural ones in the US.
