It is with pleasure that the team at IV Holdings introduces this forum to share with you our insights, outlook, and thoughts on the development of internet and interactive ventures.  While our emphasis will be on opportunities in the Arab World, we'll keep a global context in mind. 

Look for us to focus on our experiences, lessons learned, as well as use this blog as a platform to share articles and tools that may be useful to our industry.  We understand that dialogue in venture funding and development is sparse in our region, and hope to also catalyze some discussions through this forum.

Questions, comments, and just random thoughts (related to the subjects above) are always welcome.
