The document discusses MASAR, an organization that aims to promote entrepreneurship in the Arab society in Israel. It notes that while over 5000 startups are founded in Israel each year, very few come from the Arab community due to lack of awareness, success stories, inspiration and trust. MASAR seeks to close this gap by raising awareness of entrepreneurship, providing motivation and skills training through entrepreneur talks, classes and networking events. Its mission is to support Arab entrepreneurs and help them launch new ventures through these educational programs and pitch competitions for potential investors.

Angel Investing in Africa; Why it matters now!'Tomi Davies
Africa is the next, new and final frontier of globalization and the race to build the continent has already started with infrastructure.
Technology enabled services hold the key to Africa’s development and African’s MUST participate in the continent's development and resulting prosperity. Angel Investment syndicates and networks have the potential to become significant contributors (and beneficiaries) in the building of Africa.

VC4Africa is building a leading peer-to-peer network that connects African based entrepreneurs with the resources (network, knowledge and capital) they require to realize their potential. By our definition, every entrepreneur we engage creates value in the areas of people, planet and profit.
Problem Statement
Innovative early stage ventures with the potential to yield high social and environmental impact - and requiring less than USD $1 million in financing (the 'S' in SME) - are the most difficult segment of the SME pipeline to reach. This is especially true in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa. Often times early stage ventures have a limited track record and lack the collateral needed to secure debt capital from a local bank. Moreover, local banks and traditional financiers too often do not appreciate the dynamics of the entrepreneur’s specific business and therefore cannot add value beyond financial capital. The cost and complexity of due diligence is one of the limiting factors for those interested and able to invest in this segment. It simply costs too much to find genuine entrepreneurs with a solid business idea and plan—just ask anyone with an SME fund and they’ll tell you how ‘hard it is to find qualified deal flow.’ As a result, most existing SME funds seek larger deals and the highest margin businesses. At the same time, micro-credit is limited in its ability to support high growth businesses beyond small-scale enterprise and leaves entrepreneurs with potential standing on the sideline. This dynamic creates an early stage “vacuum” in which a large number of potentially thriving, innovative companies are either constrained to be micro-enterprises, and hence have a limited impact on economic growth and job creation, or don’t come into existence at all. This tends to shut out promising entrepreneurs in the sub-$1 million financing range indiscriminately, or raises the cost of capital to prohibitively high levels—above the already-high rate of return on capital exhibited by many SMEs—making financing uneconomical.
Our Objective
VC4Africa exists to fill this vacuum. As the largest network connecting African entrepreneurs, angel investors and early stage VCs, VC4Africa seeks to reduce the barriers to investing in small and growing businesses with high potential to contribute to innovation and economic growth throughout Africa. But we are more than a social network. We seek to leverage our data in meaningful ways to increase access to resources and facilitate successful business and investment connections to African entrepreneurs with currently limited access. VC4Africa develops tools that work to efficiently connect members and, in our community’s drive to fuel innovation, create jobs and bring rapid economic growth to communities throughout the continent.

Editor's Notes
People from the Arab society are coming with backgrounds which are lack of knowledge , they don’t serve in the army, they are located in the periphery , There are only few stat-ups , most of the businesses are family businesses industrial.There are no trust between the Arab community and the government, banks, VC’s, what’s lead to a big gap between the sectors.
