Philip Bahoshy

Founder and CEO, Magnitt

Passionate about developing entrepreneurship ecosystems across emerging markets, Bahoshy founded Magnitt – a startup community and data platform – in 2014, prior to which he worked at Barclays Wealth and Oliver Wyman. Magnitt, which claims to be the “largest online community for startups across the MENA region”, connects entrepreneurs directly with ecosystem stakeholders including funders, mentors, support services, and talent. In Bahoshy’s words, Magnitt looks to “take out the loneliness for entrepreneurs by bringing both sides of the marketplace online, making it easier for stakeholders to navigate through the developing MENA ecosystem”.
