### **[Transcript] Investing in Startups: Advice from Grégoire de Padirac, Orange Ventures Director for MENA and Africa**

In this in-depth interview, the team at Tech Arabic sat down with Mr. Grégoire de Padirac, the Director of Orange Ventures for the Middle East and Africa region. The discussion took place during a panel session organized by Orange Jordan, focusing on supporting startup companies and investments. Representatives from various investment entities and entrepreneurs were present at the event, which was held in the digital village of Orange.

During the interview, Grégoire de Padirac shared valuable insights on the process of convincing investors to invest in new startups. He stressed the importance of being passionate about the problem your startup is solving and aligning it with your entrepreneurial journey. Investors want to feel the drive and authenticity in your vision and be confident that your solution is original and efficient.

From the perspective of an investor, Grégoire highlighted the significance of addressing a real problem and serving a sizable market. He emphasized the need for startups in Jordan to have a global mindset or at least have a regional focus from the early stages, due to the relatively smaller local market size. Assessing the relevance of your startup for multiple markets is crucial when pitching to investors.

Ultimately, Grégoire urged entrepreneurs not to build a business solely to please investors, but rather to believe in their solution or business concept first. Understanding the investment strategies of different investors is also vital in tailoring your pitch effectively. Lastly, he emphasized the necessity of thorough training and preparation in order to deliver a compelling pitch.
