February 17th, 2016: Mr. Rami Hajjar, serial entrepreneur and CEO of technology start-up, Hadzup, has been encouraging students to explore their entrepreneurial side during a recent seminar at Canadian University Dubai (CUD).
Speaking about his own experience of the business world, Rami revealed how taking risks and following a dream led him to establish three companies, with another four in the pipeline. He said that entrepreneurs would often find failure in their early endeavors, but with resilience and persistence they would learn valuable lessons that could drive them towards success.
Recounting his journey into entrepreneurship, Rami discussed his experience of the corporate world, where he found success early on, but was soon inspired to branch out on his own. He went on to set up Wext, a messaging service similar to Whatsapp, and by 2010 had established a second business, a real-time monitoring system known as Kashef.
Now the CEO of his latest venture, Hadzup, which provides an end-to-end solution for mobile app development, Rami revealed that successful businesses often begin with a simple idea that an entrepreneur will pursue until it becomes a reality.
He said, “Technology is the new global marketplace and most entrepreneurs these days are in this field, but often they start out with an idea that will solve an everyday problem, something they simply wish existed that doesn’t, or even something that exists in other markets, but is new to a country or region.”
Rami went on to encourage students to come up with ideas, seek out mentors and networks that might help them succeed, and to never be afraid of failure. He also introduced students to a range of internship opportunities with Hadzup.
