Sherif, could you start by telling our readers a little about yourself and your professional journey? My background is in biochemistry, and I’ve spent the last decade working across the medical device and diagnostics industry. Early in my career, I realised that groundbreaking innovations often fail not because of poor science, but because founders don’t […]
Tell us about SYP SYP was created with a simple but transformative belief. Most people think their longevity is determined by genetics, yet research shows that only a small percentage of our lifespan is written in our DNA. Around 93 percent of how long and how well we live comes from the choices we make […]
Tell us about yourself and your background. My name is Miroslav Pergel, and I am the CEO and founder of MOQSTA. My background is not typical for a tech founder—it’s more the story of an observer who became frustrated. For years, I observed small and medium-sized retailers in Europe. People with great products, genuine passion, […]
Founders are celebrated for endurance, drive, and nonstop momentum — yet the real engine behind sustained clarity, creativity, and courageous leadership is far more intentional: the ability to rewind, rejuvenate, and reset with purpose.

For decades, this output has been treated as a problem: open burning (leading to environmental crises like the “Black Cloud”) or low-value […]
In an era where sustainability is no longer a trend but a mandate, few names stand out in the region’s circular-economy movement like Mostafa El Kabbany, the founder of Big Scrappers. His journey didn’t begin with an app, a pitch deck, or a tech office. It began more than a decade ago — on the […]
When I first pitched my venture in London, my voice trembled. Not because I doubted my idea — but because I was trying to fit a lifetime of meaning, migration, identity, and purpose into five minutes of English. In that moment, I realised something essential: a pitch is not a performance. It is an act […]
Being alone was treated like a problem but maybe it was the greatest gift we never noticed. In a world that celebrates constant connection, solitude has become the most misunderstood state of all. Society has taught us to fear being alone — to see it as a problem that needs fixing rather than a skill […]
