Rooting for Manara(YC W21)[0] to the point people I talk with ask me if I'm a founder or have a stake, and talk I do. https://manara.tech https://manara.tech Unless you live in North-Africa or the Middle East or places like that, you can't do justice to what Iliana and Laila are doing. Many of these countries are prisons with flags. Isolated from the world with pretty much useless passports. Isolated from monetary flows. Isolated from the global job market. Scrutinized at every airport. These people's only sin was to be born there, and they're paying a dear price, especially with the cultural values of sticking by parents/grand parents. Some of these countries actually forbid their citizens to build an estate or own something in another country, many have non-convertible currencies that make it hard to do business and black markets, even black markets for visas. In other words, if you were born there, you're screwed unless you muster a disproportionate amount of grit to get to a baseline. Go Iliana, go Laila! If you know people in North Africa or the Middle East, that's a great way to improve the situation. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25849054 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25849054
