About

Ambar is the Chief Operating Officer for Palestine’s newest startup investment fund, Ibtikar, a fund that she championed and helped design, structure and fundraise. Ibtikar fills a critical funding gap faced by Palestinian entrepreneurs between seed and VC.

Through PNB, Ambar organizes the yearly Celebration of Innovation, a Palestine-wide competition of entrepreneurs, and the follow-up support to these entrepreneurs.

For the first time, Palestine participated in this event in November 2013. This first campaign was awarded the GEW Hosts’ Awar
