Ehsan's Market Analysis

Dubai stands out as a insurtech hub with 2,000+ active startups. The city's tech talent score of 83/100 provides a strong foundation, though average salaries of $95K affect unit economics for early-stage companies. My advice for companies entering this market: find the 2-3 local community anchors, build relationships with key angel investors, and test product-market fit with a focused ICP before scaling.
