May Habib and Darine Sabbagh from Qordoba share their reactions with Nina Curley of Wamda just a few minutes after Qordoba was announced as the winner of the Startup Demo competition at Arabnet last Friday.

Embracing a fast rhythm of expansion, Qordoba Ltd. started as a crowdsourced translation platform in December 2011, and launched Qordoba Books and Digital Publishing Solutions, an Arabic ePublishing and eReading platform on March 27th 2012, just a couple days ago. The team also mentions their plan for an upcoming partnership with MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) to launch OCW capabilities in Arabic.
