Omar Al-Arifi

Trainer, Public Speaker and Angel Investor

A Saudi trainer, speaker and angel investor, working under the Personal Professionalism banner in professional development and personal professionalism. His activity combines training, content creation and investment in early-stage startups, three roles that meet in many of the active figures in the Saudi entrepreneurship ecosystem. Angel investment means putting early capital into a company before it reaches institutional funding rounds, and usually comes with mentoring for founders and opening networks to them. This constituency has widened in the Kingdom as the startup ecosystem has grown and government support programmes have multiplied, including those directed specifically at property technology.
