Description

In this episode of The Real Preneur, we sit down with Hossam Taher, a medical doctor who co-founded Orcas, one of Egypt’s first edtech startups. Hossam reveals how the discipline and problem-solving mindset he gained from medicine shaped his approach as a founder. He reflects on the early days of Egypt’s startup ecosystem, and what it was like to raise funds from investors back then. He also shares how Orcas grew to become a trusted platform for students and families and the key steps toward Orcas’ acquisition, and what it felt like to exit a company he built from scratch.
