FWD: "On Unicorns, Mafias, and the Future of Startup Capital in Mena"

In this afikra FWD, Madison forwards the article "Breaking the Mold: Can the MENA Region Be a Leader in Inclusive Capital?" published by Middle East Institute. The article starts out by setting the stage of what has been happening in the Middle East region over the last decade when it comes to unicorns, a privately-held company that is valued at $1 billion or more.
