What to Include

• Examples of Your Work If You Have – any systems, automations, AI tools, or workflows you’ve built (GitHub, Notion, Airtable, or screenshots).

You receive numerous startup submissions each week from multiple channels (email, LinkedIn, website) from founders across the MENA region. Often, data about the startups is limited — for example, team experience may be incomplete, market size is unclear, and traction metrics are sparse.

How would you prioritize which startups to review first? Include your decision-making criteria, key signals, and how you would leverage automation or AI to streamline the process.
