Hey guys

First time in tel Aviv and running short on time and want to rent a car tomorrow (Saturday) to go to the dead sea.

I'm staying close to Kempinski in tel Aviv.

Anyone know a car rental close by? I don't want to pick it up and leave the car at the airport as it's quite far away.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 32-year-old Swedish national currently living in the UAE, and frankly, I’m bored out of my mind. I’ve reached a point where I’m financially privileged, if I don't want to work another day in my life I don't have to, but I have too much drive to just sit around. I’m looking for my next challenge, and I want to see if anyone here is building something exciting who needs help.

My Background:

• Finance & Economics: Degree in economics from Stockholm University. Worked for a top investment bank in Scandinavia, managing 150 financial advisors in Sweden. I know how to manage capital, model growth, and manage people.
• Sales & Marketing: Background in electronics sales (won "Salesman of the Year" for one of Sweden's largest retail chains, worked here during Uniiversity). I also founded and ran my own digital marketing agency for a couple of years. I know how to build a client acquisition engine.
• Real Operations: Ran my own companies for the last 4 years in the UAE. Most recently, I co-founded a construction and technical services business, scaling it to 20 employees. My partner and I eventually had different visions for the future, so we successfully exited and sold it.

Where I’m At Right Now: To be completely transparent, after selling the construction company, I was completely burnt out. I worked 06:00 to 22:30, six days a week. On my one days off, I was drowning in admin-sending invoices, chasing suppliers, and trying to stay up to date with my own life like laundry, meal prepping for the week etc. I needed a break, so I took a 5-month vacation to recharge.

Now I’m back in Dubai, completely refreshed, and realized that while running a local social club (hiking, beach days, boat trips to Oman) keeps me busy on weekends, it doesn’t give me the mental stimulation I need. I’ve been offered 4 high-level corporate roles back in Sweden by old colleagues and CEOs, but traditional 9-to-5 employment just doesn't give me butterflies anymore.

What I’m Looking For: My ultimate 3-4 year goal is to relocate to a Western country and fully transition to living off the interest that my capital is giving. Until then, I want to deploy my energy and strategic background into a venture I believe in. I am open to relocating and getting over irl to sit down and talk expectations on both of us for the right opportunity.

I’m looking for partnerships, equity stakes, or even doing high-level project work for free initially to prove value if the fit is right for both parties. I’m not looking for a salary; I’m looking for leverage, scale, and sharp people to work with.

If you have an existing business that is choking on operational scale, needs to build a sales engine, or needs a partner with capital and/or finance expertise to scale - let's chat.
