Our GP, Raed Masri, talks about turning pain into value. While researching and validating new ideas can be incredibly valuable, sometimes the simplest insights come from paying attention to your own painful experiences. #Entrepreneurship #Strategy #Advice #Problems

When I cofounded the VIP.fund I wanted to create an opportunity for the brilliant youth displaced by conflicts in the Middle East. A few gems shine bright and compel me and other volunteers to go above and beyond. Bashar is a gem, who's unwavering commitment to learning, and supporting others made him a darling at the VIP.fund, TRANSFORM VC and others he volunteered and worked with while he was earning his AI degree as a displaced #Syrian in Jordan. Thanks to my sister Nawara Chakaki, her husband Dave Thomas and their amazing friends Shaireen Khawaja and Ramey Youssef and Aboudi Odeh Bashar moved to the US to continue his journey. Join me in welcoming Bashar, and lending your support to his campaign and others on our edseed.me platform. https://lnkd.in/ght3vPuR #ItTakesAVillage #RefugeesAreWelcome
