Why Ketab ?
Before bamboo begins the surge, we can see it has spent
months at work below the surface. For three quarters of
the year, the plant is building a foundation that will
support its great potential. Nature's secret strategy for
"rapid, immediate and robust increases" is to spend
significant time and effort on the roots. Jason
Jennings, Its not the BIG that eat the SMALL … It’s the FAST that eat the Small
Bamboo can grow at an incredibly accelerated rate. It will get to the same height an oak tree takes years to reach in just a few days. This plant will also double every three years and can continue at that pace for a century. What's more, it has a scheme resilient enough to survive anything (even nuclear attack).
Why Ketab Pt2
“If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.”
Simon Sinek
What’s The Strategy ?
If you are going to do
large-scale invention, you
have to be willing to do
three things: You must be
willing to fail; you have to
be willing to think long
term; and you have to be
willing to be
misunderstood for long
periods of time.
Jeff Bezos

Why Now ?
Ed Tech investment is on the rise both by VCs & the Ed Sector from pre-KG - HigherEd

Education Ready for Prime Time!
There are Many Leading Players
In EdtechBut not In MENA
Avoiding Want it All - Have it All Customer Trap
Ketab’s corporate
strategy allows to
bundle or unbundle and
re-bundle different
product solutions, and
there is no need to
build a product at large
to serve the minimum
viable segment for the
early adopters
that might as well fail to represent that to other customers
later at the majority
But How To Scale ?We Know no specific Path to Scale but through Customer
Development
Ketab’s Unique Selling Proposition & Value proposition is built on the competitive advantage of bringing the solutions together while each SBU ( Strategic Business Units) that operate each with its own P&L
