Reminds me of that time I spent 4 years on a beach building a sandcastle grain by grain.

What do you think of db's recent decision to open-source their trading platform? https://www.db.com/newsroom_news/2017/deutsche-bank-makes-it...

I mentored as well (not with jbermudez) and agree with the above. Also, given the high level of internet infrastructure, high levels of education, and tech savvy, building a startup industry there is one of the best ways to provide future economic opportunity and sense of global participation.

Also not an answer to the question, but Israel laid cable there prior to exiting, and so the infrastructure didn't emerge in isolation. You should ask one of the Gaza geeks to send you a tracert!

Lord - Conditions are no-doubt tough, but there is internet infrastructure, and there is most definitely talent. Brownouts do occur in the evenings. Gaza Sky Geeks also has a generator so that entrepreneurs in the co-working space can work late. Investing is not an issue. There's a new $9M fund that just formed to focus on Gaza.
