Good governance isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s a strategic advantage. It helps startups scale smartly, attract investment, and build long-term resilience. This session brings together founders, VCs, and ecosystem leaders to explore how early-stage tech companies can embed governance from day one. In a conversation between Sophie Smith, Founder & CEO of Nabta Health, and Ralph Choueiri, Executive Director of the Pearl Initiative, we’ll uncover practical insights on what governance looks like in action, and how founders can make it work for them, not against them.
