Autobia Co-Founder CEO Emad Daghreri bootstrapped his first company and took it public in the junior stock exchange in Saudi Arabia. He is now doing a second company. This interview focuses on his bootstrapping to exit story with the first one.

Sramana Mitra: Emad, let’s start at the very beginning of your journey. Where are you from? Where were you born? Raised? What kind of background?

Emad Daghreri: My name is Emad Daghreri. I am a founder from Saudi Arabia. I was born in a small village called Daghrer. It matches my last name; it is a privilege to have a village that is named under my last name. I spent the first half of my life there until high school. Then I had the privilege to be accepted in King Fahd University in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, which is one of the best engineering universities in the kingdom. I graduated with a Computer Science degree. I was lucky to start my first startup at the end of the fifth year of the university. That was an amazing start of my journey as an entrepreneur in general.
