Omar Zaki

Hi 👋🏽, my name is Omar!

I’m a Venture Partner and I am here at Mentor Cruise to support:

1. Early-stage Ventures in: startup and business model development, product/market fit, fundraising, gaining traction;

2. Later-stage Ventures in: business and partnerships development, market strategy, fundraising, growth and scaling, M&A;

3. Founders in: Getting a GRIP = Grit + Resilience + Ingenuity + Persistence

Why work with me?
—> I have over 20 years of training and experience in many facets of business internationally across corporate, entrepreneurial and M&A.

—> I have opened new markets and disrupted others, bootstrapped and raised funding, launched, pivoted, grown, exited and shut-down projects and businesses in various industries, stages and circumstances.

—> I have succeeded, and also failed, a lot. I have seen the great, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Almost certainly I've experienced what you're going through at one time or another. If I don't know or can’t help, I'll tell you and won't waste your time. If I do know, I'll give you straightforward and useful advice, suggestions, ideas, and even access to valuable resources and relationships.

I listen to what you have to say and also what you aren’t saying. I’ll make you think in ways you haven’t and make you get real with yourself, your vision and your venture. Building and funding a business is one of the hardest things to do, and I will support you making it one of the most the most rewarding things you’ve done in your life.
