Show Notes

Daughter of Mexicans, raised in the US, Ambar Amleh is a Managing Partner at Palestine’s investment fund, Ibtikar Fund. For the past nine years, Ambar has been directly involved in supporting Palestinian entrepreneurs, as the program manager for Palestine for a New Beginning (PNB), a Palestinian non-profit company focused on entrepreneurial development.

''Being a VC in Palestine, or in a place like Palestine, where a conflict thrives, you have to be an optimistic, you have to believe so deeply in every single company, in every single founder that you are investing. And I think that definitely I am an optimistic. I definitely see that peace will come from these young men and women that are doing great things despite the conflict."

Join us for another episode of Astella Around the World to hear what Ambar has to share about promoting change through investments.
