Hossam Shafick

Hossam Shafick is a Partner at Silicon Badia, a global venture firm investing across the US and MENA with a mission to connect the East and the West. 

Before VC, Hossam was an investment banker, executing over $1Bn in M&A.

Ranked the #1 LinkedIn Voice in Africa for Venture Capital, Hossam has an obsession for people and numbers. He believes the worst decisions in venture happen when one overpowers the other — and that the industry still suffers from a lack of strong, accessible VC analysis. 

That’s why he launched #WTFtv (What They Failed to Teach in Venture), a weekly newsletter breaking down VC’s black boxes and making venture analysis sharper, clearer, and more actionable.
