The idea behind ‘Source’ is an informed beauty e-commerce platform that seeks out the best skincare, makeup, fragrances, and health products in the market and acts as a hub of information for the Egyptian female. Founded in 2016, Source Beauty began as a blog where the hunt for the coolest beauty products were shared on a social media platform. Our mission is to decode the often intimidating beauty world which leaves people in a state of confusion. The aim of Source Beauty is to inspire you to nourish, enhance, and make the right beauty choices for the best version of you. Source Beauty is a women-led platform providing women the choice to choose local alternatives to their self-care routines, and an opportunity to get their brands known to women as we source the best in the region. Primarily working with female start-ups help broaden the community of businesswomen in the beauty and wellness industry in the region. The Egyptian market is brimming with export-grade skincare and haircare opportunities that are undiscovered locally. Our aim is not only to provide an affordable solution to beauty products but to also empower women by educating them and giving them relevant information about what is available in Egypt while guiding them through the ins and outs of the beauty world. Lifting the stigma that foreign beauty products equals better quality, we showcase rising brands as they utilise the best raw ingredients the country has to offer worldwide.

Egypt's first formal network of business angels looking to invest in local startups. Each of our members makes his or her individual investment decision — but we collaborate in due diligence. Collectively we make equity investments in the range of LE 250,000 to LE 1 million per company, and can syndicate larger investments to our partner organisations. We are as comfortable leading as we are being co-investors, but we never take majority stakes. We fund and welcome the opportunity to work with dynamic and astute entrepreneurs, and especially ones who are open to taking advice.

Entrepreneurs shape the future, sparking innovation, creating jobs, empowering dreams. We believe in challenging the status quo and finding solutions, one business at a time. While that journey can bring influence, recognition, and personal reward, it can also be arduous and lonely. Mindful of the unique pressures and isolation experienced along many an entrepreneur’s path, in 1987, a group of young pioneers designed a solution: a membership community dedicated exclusively by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs who have a proven record of success. Soon, that collective grew from a few hundred to many thousands, evolving into the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO). Today, EO welcomes entrepreneurs everywhere, connecting 18,000 of the world’s leading entrepreneurs from every sector, generation, culture, and walk of life across 80+ countries worldwide. We create belonging, forge connections, exchange diverse perspectives, and share extraordinary experiences, all year long. What makes our community special? In a word: connection. With EO, we go beyond the business to the whole entrepreneur, gaining insights that we pass on to our families and work teams. We recognize the interconnectedness of our success and learn to balance individual achievements with collective impacts. By gathering locally and connecting globally – in chapters, in regions, as one borderless community – we experience a 360-degree entrepreneurial journey that unlocks more of our full potential. As members of EO’s local and global communities, we belong, so we can become even more. Join EO and engage in a diverse collective that is always learning, always growing, and thinking big while being bold. Together, we will move the world forward.
