Speakers: Mohammad Al Meer
Founder and CEO of Q8 Software
Time: 8:00 – 8:30
Topic
Mohammad will explain to us a new model that is currently used in
most startups in the world called Business Model Canvas. This model
is specifically built for startups, as opposed to the business plan that
was built for big established companies.

6. Networking (1hr to ∞)
The whole idea of this 1 hour activity is to get everyone to know
everyone. Things we are going to do:
1- Everyone will follow everyone in Twitter and Linkedin (you can add
instagram to the list if you want)
2- Find what you are looking, for example you can find a programmer,
a designer, an investor, a potential partner or a mentor
3- Don’t be shy, remember this is the first time for all of us.
That’s it, then you are free to go…….
