Accelerator Director

AppWorks

Alyssa's operating thesis is that an accelerator should be a practical lab where founders repeatedly test, learn and build with peers, mentors and corporate partners. She leads AppWorks Accelerator pl

No personal check size or investment allocation authority is published for Alyssa.

Not applicable to Selim's documented Shorooq role. He structures vehicles, manages institutional relationships, facilitates co-investments and advises portfolio companies. He separately founded Ghodwa Ventures, an early-stage Tunisian deep-tech angel syndicate, but no ticket range is public and that activity must not be conflated with Shorooq capital.
