Learn how to build or grow a tech startup that customers love. Hiraash Thawfeek (CTO, Multiplier and Co-founder, Creately) will share how he got started with limited resources/no investment and what he has learnt over the years. Best way to succeed is to learn from a mentor who has successfully done it before. Multiplier recently raised $60 million in a funding round co-led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital India.
Hiraash Thawfeek (Keynote Speaker):
Hiraash is the CTO of Multiplier and Co-founder of Creately. Multiplier (based in Singapore) recently raised USD 60 million (valuation - USD 400 million) in a Series B funding round co-led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital India. Multiplier makes international employment, payroll, and benefits easy and risk free by providing  a comprehensive platform to take care of your global teams’ payroll, taxes, social contributions & local insurance policies.

We are very lucky to have Hiraash talk at this event for us. Given the current situation around the world, a lot of people are struggling to figure out how to survive. It is possible to build a tech startup with limited resources and no investment. Creately was entirely bootstrapped by the founders with no external investment and is one of the most successful tech startups to emerge from Sri Lanka.

Fathhi Mohamed: Fathhi is a Director of Founder Institute and Co-founder of PickMe. A serial entrepreneur, he is currently the COO of DishServe (raised $2.5 million in funding).
