The lowdown on Ali Nasser
Shoutout to Ali Nasser, this guy’s a straight-up legend in the making. Born and raised in Cairo, he’s the kind of guy who’s always been into building shit that actually matters. He kicked off his process with a solid background, studied Construction Engineering and Management at The American University in Cairo, then took it up a notch by jumping over to Cornell for his Master’s in Engineering Management and an MBA from Johnson. Basically, the dude’s got brains and ambition, no cap.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Before diving into startups, Ali was crushing it on Wall Street at Citi, working as an Investment Banking Associate, mainly in the fertilizer sector worldwide. That’s some serious finance chops. He’s also dipped his toes in other ventures, board member at Menatours, founder of Big Red Bullet, and a senior biz dev analyst at Agrium. All of this? It’s like he’s been gathering tools and experience for the big move.
Then, in 2020, Ali jumped into the startup game with ShipBlu, his own logistics and e-commerce fulfillment company based in Egypt. And holy shit, this guy isn’t just dabbling; he got into Y Combinator’s S21 batch, which is basically the startup world’s stamp of approval. ShipBlu’s all about bringing Amazon-level logistics to Egypt and the wider region. They raised $2.4 million recently, proving they’re the real deal.

He’s the kind of founder who’s not just chasing a quick buck but really trying to change the game in his region. No Cap, he’s a name to watch.
