如果埃及迅速产生一届民选政府，它必须要对经济采取什么措施？

    它必须重视如何帮助人们恢复正常的工作生活。人们忘了在2011年前埃及曾经取得过多么显著的经济进步，尽管很多人不喜欢它与精英阶层之间有着密不可分的关系。所有这些因近几年发生的事件而停滞，特别是当人们看到兄弟会采取严厉措施，同时制定限制性规定时，这些做法看起来更像是社会主义制度，而不是其他。比方说，曾经有过讨论如何限制企业赚取的利润。这让我们这些商界人士不太安心。

    过去两年，创业环境发生了什么变化？

    我们每天都会看到更多更好的创业公司。比如，创业周末(Startup Weekend)就认为埃及是最佳的市场之一。这些年轻人真的非常努力，只有新政府有一点点法治、尊重知识产权，不横加干涉，这些创业者就会迅速发展起来。

    埃及国内有足够的资本提供给本国创业者吗？

    埃及这个市场现在仍处于印度和中国10年、甚至15年前的状况，有外部投资者进入、支持某些公司肯定会有所帮助。但埃及国内有足够的资本吗？当然有。这个地区内部一样也有足够的资本。

    7月4日埃及创业者会工作吗？

    不会，明天人们将会聚会。但很多人会在周日开始工作。我今天甚至收到我担任董事的那些公司发来的邮件，询问“业务是否照常”的问题。

    想象一下，如果你28岁，直到两年前还从没有想过一个没有穆巴拉克的新世界，仅仅两年你已经见证了两次巨大变革。人们感觉充满力量，能掌控自己的命运，这就是创业精神的全部，也就是创造新事物的能力。这就是希望。（财富中文网）

    If Egypt does quickly get a new democratically-elected government, what must it do for the economy?

    It's got to focus on doing what it takes to make it easier to put people back to work. People forget that Egypt had made significant economic progress leading up to 2011, even though a lot of people didn't like that it was consolidated into what they thought of as the elites. And all of that stuff was stalled by what happened in the last couple of years, particularly once people saw the Brotherhood crack down on things and make restrictive rules that were really looking more socialist than anything else. For example, there was talk about limiting the amount of profits companies could make. It didn't make us businesspeople very comfortable.

    How has the startup environment changed in the past two years?

    We've seen more and better startups every day. For example, one of the top markets Startup Weekend says it sees is Egypt. These guys and gals are really putting their noses to the grindstone, and could really flourish if the new government can just apply a modicum of rule of law, respect for intellectual property and not try to get in the way.

    Is there enough available capital inside of Egypt for the country's entrepreneurs?

    The market is still in the stage that India and China were 10 or 15 years ago, and it certainly would help to have outside investors come in and validate certain companies. But is there enough capital inside of Egypt? Sure there is. And certainly within the region.

    Will Egyptian entrepreneurs go to work tomorrow?

    No, people will be partying tomorrow. But many will go to work on Sunday. I've even gotten emails today from companies where I'm o the board with 'business as usual' questions.

    Imagine being 28 years old, and until two years ago never new a world without Mubarek and now you've seen two massive changes in just two years. These people feel empowered and in control of their own destiny, which is what entrepreneurship is all about: The ability to create something new. It's about hope.
