Today we speak with Ahmed Raafat of Giza Capital Partners, the first search fund raised in Egypt. Ahmed first heard about search funds while completing his MBA at Cambridge. We discuss his experience launching a bio-fuel company 2 weeks before graduating as an engineer and growing it to over $2m in revenue. We also dive into the complexities of raising capital in a new and emerging market like Egypt as well as the types of companies he is looking to acquire.
