| Exclusive: What It Takes to Build a Private Equity Firm in Abu Dhabi | 18 Feb 2025 | 00:30:57 | |
In this episode with Huda Al Lawati, CEO of Aliph Capital, we have a conversation about private equity, entrepreneurship, and the rollercoaster investment outlook.
When it comes to coffee, it’s more about the culture and ritual than just the drink itself. From there, we dive into her journey of launching Aliph Capital during peak global uncertainty. She explains how the leadership in the Gulf during that time gave her the confidence to start something new.
We also explore how the Gulf region has become a much more entrepreneur-friendly environment in recent years. But, as Huda points out, fundraising remains one of the toughest challenges for first-time private equity managers. It’s one thing to raise money, but real success in this industry isn’t about that—it’s about returning money to investors.
Huda Al Lawati is the founder of Aliph Capital, an alternative investment manager focused on mid-market private equity across the Gulf (GCC) region. She has been in the industry for over 20 years and was also featured in the Top 100 Businesswomen in the Middle East by Forbes.

| Germany’s ”Deepest Economic Hour” | Folker Hellmeyer | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:52:29 | |
Germany is facing one of its toughest economic moments in decades. We touch base with Netfonds AG chief economist Folker Hellmeyer for a clear look at what’s gone wrong and what might still be saved.
Folker explains why the energy shock together with weak tech leadership have pushed Germany into its deepest downturn since 1949. He also discusses the future of companies such as Volkswagen as well as BASF. Global growth continues shifting toward the United States and the Global South. That has real implications for your investments.
