The DXB Female Founders (DFF) monthly event series — an initiative supporting women entrepreneurs in the UAE — has secured sponsorship from Google Cloud. Hosted at Google Cloud’s Dubai office, the series will offer female founders a space to connect, learn, and develop critical business skills.

Kicking off today, the DFF series will feature monthly events, each built around a unique theme. Attendees can expect hands-on workshops, expert-led discussions, and real-life founder stories designed to provide actionable insights for aspiring and established entrepreneurs.

The first event focuses on Founder Stories, featuring Saba Yussouf, General Partner of Nettle Ventures. Saba, who sold her first business at 24 for £2 million and now leads a $60 million biotech company, will offer first-hand advice on investor readiness, key funding strategies, and what investors seek in a startup.

Adding to the lineup, Marisa Peer — celebrity therapist and best-selling author of I Am Enough — will deliver a session on overcoming self-doubt, building confidence, and achieving business success. With experience coaching top athletes, executives, and high-profile individuals, Marisa’s insights will be invaluable for founders looking to break mental barriers and reach their full potential.

The series will also welcome Nacho Floristan, Director of Generative AI Solutions Architecture at Google Cloud, alongside other accomplished female founders who will share their entrepreneurial journeys.

Faranak Farahmand Pour, Director of Global Strategic Initiatives at Google Cloud, highlighted the impact of this initiative: “Through our support of the DXB Female Founders event series, we aim to help unlock the immense potential of female talent in this region and contribute to the UAE’s ambitious goals for economic growth and technological advancement”.
