Last week was the 3rd Startup Grind event for the Dubai Chapter. Joining us on stage were Ravi and Brian - just some of the brains behind the popular local sports website Duplays.com.

Starting back in 2007 by a group of guys who played ultimate frisby with friends Duplays has become a household name for any sports enthusiast living in Dubai. This though is soon to be in other cities too with a fast paced expansion plan powered by a neatly designed website.
During the interview we heard their story from startup to seed capital injection and then how a recent Series A funding has helped grow the business even further.
Once again thanks to our friends at MAKE Business Hub for hosting the event and making sure our audience was fully fed and watered. This is a very inspiring interview and one you should most definitely watch.
Startup Grind Dubai is brought to you by yours truely Simon Hudson from ThinkTank Middle-East and Host. With a passion for new and creative ideas and a background in new media and small startups, I'm excited to bring what is needed to drive this local Chapter.
