   Does anybody if it's easier, same, or harder to raise VC money in Dubai as compared to say California ?

     My instinct is that they are probably a pretty startup-friendly environment because bringing smart entrepreneurial people to their city is the only way they can ensure their post-oil survival. And their sovereign wealth funds have, A LOT, of dry powder. Of course they don't want to overspend and fund trash, but if that's their only limitation then normally it should be a paradise for legitimate startups.
     
     I was just wondering if anyone has enough info to confirm or disprove this little hypothesis.
