Building a startup in 2026 — what's your biggest challenge?

For us it isn't talent and it isn't the idea. It's banking and getting paid: invoicing clients abroad, moving money in, paying a team partly here and partly outside. We've stitched together a working setup but it took longer than building the product. What's the constraint that actually slows you down day to day?

Best companies for fresh graduates?

Looking for places that actually train you rather than hand you a spreadsheet and disappear. From what I hear, Murex and Bank Audi have real structured programmes, and Toters throws you in but you learn fast. Would love honest experiences — including the ones that looked great and weren't.

Hiring locally vs remotely?

We can hire a strong senior engineer in an emerging market for what a mid-level costs us in the Gulf. The counter-argument from our investors is retention: the good ones get recruited abroad within two years. My view is that two excellent years beat four average ones, but I'd like to hear from people who've lived through the churn.
