Ahmed implemented the feedback, helping him double average revenue per store from 2009 –2011. When he returned to an "ISP" in 2012, Ahmed was select- ed as an Endeavor Entrepreneur. Since that time, Ahmed has attended both the Stanford Graduate School of Business Leadership and Harvard Business School's Endeavor: Scaling Entrepreneurial Ventures courses. In 2014, Imtenan Health Shop and Imtenan Honey merged to create an international brand: Imtenan Group. Endeavor Egypt currently supports 30 entrepreneurs leading 17 companies.
