About Me

Hi !

My name is Mehdi Alaoui

I’m a Moroccan Tech Entrepreneur, Business Angel and African Startups ecosystem builder since 2001.

During my entrepreneurship journey and career, I had the chance to travel all over the world and meet incredible innovators and entrepreneurs that are really changing and impacting our world like Bill Gates , Satya Nadella , Jack Ma !

What I realized is that talented and ambitious entrepreneurs are everywere and that all it takes for them to succed is to offer them valuable ecosystems that have incubators/accelerators, business angels / ventures capitals and corporates / institutions that believes in them and offer them opportunities to succed !

That’s why I’m on a personal and professional mission to contributes to theses ecoystems emerge and grow all over Africa with the help of friends and partners that also share with me the vision of an Africa Startup Continent !

The challenge is HUGE but if like me, you believe that all it takes is motivated and resilient people who works together with intelligence and kindness, then join me and let’s help African entrepreneurs rise and shine worldwide!

My values

Collaboration

I believe in the. capacity of human being to collaborate for a better and peaceful world.

Trust

I believe in human kindness.
I tend to easily trust people.

Kindness

I enjoy helping others.
I am grateful to be able to support people.

My hobbies

Soccer

I am a huge fan of soccer, a fan of Raja, of Real Madrid, of PSG, and of course of the national teams of Morocco and France. And like any unconditional soccer fan, I love these atmospheres, where it sings so loudly in the stadium that you can't hear yourself, the tifos, and so on… and of course I also love football because it makes me interact with anyone no matter where he's from & what's his background.

Karting

It's about speed, competition, adrenaline, managing a good kickstart and maintaining a high yet sustainable velocity. So close to the entrepreneurship mindset.

Geek

Unable to use a device or a program without knowing exactly how it works makes me retro engineer everything I use from my messaging app to my new fridge. My wife hates that.
