You really won't find that culture anywhere but here, really. Even Europe doesn't fully have that yet. Finding success while working in Egypt is really not impossible. It lends to just working differently. You probably can't grow a consumer website in Egypt; but SaaS (software as a service) doesn't necessarily have to be created from an American company. Also, there's such a HUGE need for Arab consumer websites. Somehow, Masrawy, YallaKora, and yes even Maktoob just don't cut it for me. The level of quality is rather low, so that's a great in for someone like who seems knowledgeable and a HackerNews user. There's definite opportunity there. As I said. Email me and we can talk more. edit: I think someone mentioned this already but it's worth re-mentioning. In some aspects, living outside of America and a costly place like San Francisco, can be a great benefit. Simply put, if you and I both make $1000, your $1000 will go a much longer way in Egypt than mine will here in a big expensive American city.
