A new online platform in Saudi Arabia is seeking to develop the startup sector in the country, through a combination of news media and education.
Entrprnrshp was launched in late December by Egyptian Tamer Imran, the editor-in-chief of leading Saudi technology news portal Tech World. His new project includes small business ideas, articles which publish entrepreneur success stories, classifieds allowing entrepreneurs to market their services, specialized sessions in digital marketing, blogging, SEO, and business technology consultancy.
Imran spoke to Wamda about the message he wants to deliver through Entrprnrshp, how he balances Tech World and the new project, the online press in the Arab world, and entrepreneurship challenges.
Wamda: What is the message you are trying to convey through Entrprnrshp and how do you find stories worth covering?
Tamer Imran: Our aim is to cover all sensitive topics that entrepreneurs care about, especially the young ones.
In terms of finding topics and ideas worth publishing, we adopt strict criteria that are critical to our selection process. The article must answer an important question asked by visitors – whom we call “business visitors” – which adds the real value intended by the website, which is enriching visitors’ entrepreneurship-related knowledge.
Research is carried out to find sources that make the article both fun and beneficial to the reader.
