π Hey there, fellow entrepreneurs and AI enthusiasts! Ever felt the pull of a new adventure, a chance to level up your life and business? That’s exactly what this is about – my transition from the fast-paced world of Dubai back to my roots in New Zealand to build something truly special in the AI space.
π Two Years in the Desert: Lessons Learned & Why It’s Time to Move On
Dubai was an incredible experience. I landed here at 22, eager to learn and grow, and this city didn’t disappoint! I built a network, honed my entrepreneurial skills, and even rocked a killer tan π.
But as my AI business, Morningside, grew, I realized Dubai wasn’t ideal for long-term success. Here’s why:
- Limited Talent Pool: Building a strong team with local talent proved challenging, hindering our growth potential.
- Dubai Entrepreneur Stigma: The online world often associates Dubai with a certain image, making it harder to connect with a wider audience.
- Craving Community: While I made great friends, I missed the sense of belonging and deeper connections that come with a close-knit community.
π³πΏ The Allure of Home: Why New Zealand is the Perfect Launchpad
Returning to New Zealand isn’t about nostalgia; it’s a strategic business decision. Here’s why it’s the perfect environment for Morningside’s next chapter:
- Untapped Potential: New Zealand’s AI scene is ripe for disruption, giving us a unique edge and first-mover advantage.
- Building a Legacy: We’re not just building a company; we’re cultivating a thriving AI ecosystem in New Zealand, fostering talent and innovation.
- Quality of Life: New Zealand offers an incredible lifestyle – a balance of work and play, surrounded by nature and a supportive community.
π From Online to On-Ground: Building a Real-World AI Powerhouse
