A caravan is an organized group of people and pack animals traveling together across a desert, where moving alone is impossible or extremely dangerous. It provides safety, resource sharing, load distribution, and support along the way, turning the journey into a sustainable collective system of travel.

- There are those who left a 10-year corporate career to start their own business — and those building their third company.
- All have a product, a team, revenue — and questions they want to discuss with people who have been in similar situations.

"I had planned to fly to Dubai myself for a month this winter and have long wanted to connect more closely with local tech founders and VCs. During the season, this is a place with an incredible concentration of top talent. The best way to build connections is through a warm community and private meetings!
That’s why we decided to create our own beautiful and full R-Founders Day — to invite everyone we want to meet in one go. I’m sure it will be a complete win-win for everyone!"

Absolutely!
We’re not about lectures from morning to night,
