What do you get when you combine geeks from Gaza, tech startup wizards from Seattle, app nerds from Google, economic development wonks from Mercy Corps and a little seed funding from generous donors? The first ever Startup Weekend in Gaza.
What they're saying at the Gaza Startup Weekend:
The one common thing that I think unites everyone here is that they really, really see a lot of opportunity here to kind of prove that even in Gaza... people are really skilled, really passionate, really powerful.

We have a very, very high percentage of developers and designers and technical people, which is really great. So there’s a strong product focus here and there’s that technical talent to back it up.
