Okay, this is a piece of old writing that I ran by which was the original script published afterwards in an Article at Business Today, HERE, I didn’t publish it by this time as a better-edited version was hosted on Business Today, but I found it among my files and used it in a study about the ecosystem in the last couple of years.
No doubt that my biggest investment in the last three years had been on Egypreneur, started side by side with DeveloperMan and DesignTemple, I had a different plan than how things went, maintaining Egypreneur with DeveloperMan and DesignTemple as CSR activities of my company that was supposed to receive funding, but, I’m glad that I had more in-depth experience in everything entrepreneurial and indeed that help me become a better entrepreneur.
Evaluating how things went since starting Egypreneur..

Hey Everyone,
This is just to inform everyone that I started a new phase with Egypreneur – the project that was supposed to be active more than a year ago. And just like everything else you find yourself in need of a long list of requirements to proceed with it.
Egypreneur or (Egyptian Entrepreneur Support Network) was started on Ning http://egypreneur.ning.com with very limited interaction since June, 2008. That was the announcement (here)
The project is supposed to be a social business network for Egyptian young entrepreneurs just like myself, the network itself is still in the development phase, well, it’s just a matter of some free time to get it sorted out. Plus, till then the project is active on the following Social Media facilities + the project blog currently in the home page http://www.egypreneur.com :
Facebook Group: http://groups.to/Egypreneur
Facebook Page: http://facebook.com/Egypreneur
Twitter: http://twitter.com/Egypreneur
YouTube: http://youtube.com/Egypreneur
The new phase will include online videos, presented by myself and anyone else interested and have something beneficial to say. The first video had been live yesterday, well, check the last post if you’re wondering about the poor quality of the video!
Watch on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IsQ_lhYNc4
So, I’ll be seeking to make videos and get the project known and lead the interaction through these videos. Will be making contacts and some PR work with business professionals who might have something to say or some help to offer.
But as you know me, If I didn’t move no body will, so, I flaw with the pants of my seat as usual and will go for it.
Will keep you posted and you give me some feedback, please!
