"Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East" Googler Deena Shakir sits down with Christopher Schroeder, author of Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East. Christopher M. Schroeder, a seasoned U.S. internet executive and venture investor, travelled to Dubai, Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Istanbul and Damascus and met thousands of talented, successful, and intrepid young entrepreneurs willing to take on political, cultural, legal and societal challenges. Equally important, Schroeder saw major regional and international private equity firms, venture capitalists and global tech players like Google, Intel, Cisco, Yahoo, LinkedIn and PayPal making significant investments, despite the uncertainty in the region. He marries his own observations with the predictions of these giants to offer a surprising and timely look at the second stealth revolution in the Middle East -- one that promises to reinvent it as a center of innovation and economic opportunity
