When Sharks Collide: Robert Herjavec Meets Abdallah Sallam
StartupScene brings together Shark Tank America's Robert Herjavec and Egypt's Abdallah Sallam for a one-of-a-kind crossover conversation between two sharks who know how to spot a winner. Jun 09, 2025 What happens when the worlds of Shark Tank US and Shark Tank Egypt finally meet? In an exclusive for StartupScene in Cairo, we brought together Robert Herjavec, investor and longtime Shark on the hit American show Shark Tank, with Abdallah Sallam, President & CEO of Madinat Masr and one of the leading faces of Shark Tank Egypt. Together, they sat down for a wide-ranging conversation about startups, instincts, risks, deals that got away, and what it really means to back a founder. The chemistry was instant. The stories? Unfiltered. And the insights? Worth taking notes. From Robert's reflections on investing in founders who 'have something to prove,' to Abdallah's take on what makes a startup scale in the MENA region, this wasn't your average media interview. It was a genuine peer-to-peer exchange between two business minds who know what it means to put skin in the game. They talked candidly about what sets the Egyptian ecosystem apart, how entrepreneurs in emerging markets pitch differently, and why venture capital is as much about pattern recognition as it is about gut instinct. There were laughs, eye rolls, comparisons, and shared lessons from opposite sides of the globe - filmed right here in Cairo. This exclusive conversation marks a rare moment: the crossover of two global formats, two distinct markets, and two investors who rarely get a moment to just talk. No timers. No pitches. Just two sharks comparing notes - and giving us a front-row seat.

Tump's Threat to Cancel SpaceX Contracts Could Force U.S. Back Into Russian Dependence, Experts Warn
Ahmed Emam US President Donald Trump's threat to revoke the government contracts with Elon Musk's SpaceX has sparked serious concern among space policy experts, who warn that such a move could undermine American space dominance and potentially force NASA to resume its reliance on Russia for access to the International Space Station. In a report published by "News week" , multiple analysts cautioned that cutting ties with SpaceX—the company behind many of NASA's most critical crewed missions—would leave the U.S. space program with limited alternatives. 'SpaceX is essential to both U.S. national security and NASA's operations. It's a core player in everything the United States is doing in space,' said Clayton Sopp, Deputy Director of the Space Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, an institution labeled 'undesirable' by Russian authorities. Sopp warned that canceling SpaceX contracts would create 'a massive gap' in American space capabilities, particularly in launching astronauts and maintaining operations aboard the ISS. 'There is no current service that can immediately fill that void,' he added. The *Newsweek* report follows Trump's escalating feud with Musk, whose companies have received an estimated \$38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax breaks over the past decade—support that has significantly contributed to Musk becoming the world's richest man, according to *The Washington Post*. Trump, reacting to Musk's recent public criticisms and calls for his disqualification from office, has threatened to conduct a sweeping review of government contracts with Musk's companies. That review, he hinted, could lead to their cancellation. In response, Musk announced that SpaceX would 'immediately' begin pulling its Dragon spacecraft from service—an announcement that raised eyebrows and questions about the potential impact on NASA's crewed space missions. Scott Hubbard, former director of NASA's Ames Research Center and founding director of its Astrobiology Institute, expressed skepticism that Trump's threats would materialize but warned of the consequences if they did. 'There is currently no alternative to the Falcon 9–Dragon system,' Hubbard told Newsweek. 'Without it, astronauts could be left stranded on the ISS—unless we're prepared to go back to the Russians, asking for mercy and seats on Soyuz.' That sentiment was echoed by Benjamin L. Schmitt, a physicist and space policy expert at the University of Pennsylvania. He called SpaceX's 2020 crewed flights 'a breakthrough in ending U.S. dependence on Russian launch systems,' noting that for years NASA had paid Russia for Soyuz seats following the retirement of the Space Shuttle. 'Canceling these contracts now would be a major setback—not just technologically, but strategically,' Schmitt said. 'It would hand leverage back to the Kremlin and strike at the heart of U.S. space independence.' SpaceX currently holds more than \$22 billion in active U.S. government contracts, including a \$2.89 billion deal with NASA to develop the Human Landing System for the Artemis Moon mission and a \$1.15 billion contract for a second lunar lander. Other major deals include a \$1.8 billion agreement with the National Reconnaissance Office for a classified satellite network and \$102 million from the U.S. Air Force for the Rocket Cargo program. As tensions between Trump and Musk intensify, the political drama threatens to spill into national security and aerospace policy—areas where SpaceX has become deeply embedded. 'SpaceX has moved from being a disruptor to a pillar of U.S. space infrastructure,' said Sopp. 'Removing that pillar could cause the entire structure to wobble.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
