Editorial
Who writes 99 Data Rooms
Last updated: 21 September 2026
Everything published here carries a named author. Nothing is credited to a brand, a “team” or an editorial persona, and nothing is published without that person confirming they are willing to be named on it.
We are a small company and we say so plainly: four people write this estate between building the product. What we can offer instead of scale is that the person who built the feature is usually the person who wrote the page about it.
Hasan Abdul-Wahad
Marketing & Outreach, 99 Data Rooms - 80 published pieces on this site.
I'm Hasan Abdul-Wahad, a Politics, Philosophy and Economics graduate from King's College London. At 99, I work across marketing and outreach, testing and implementing new ideas while building automations that improve efficiency, expand reach and streamline operations.
I enjoy taking ideas from concept to execution, using research, experimentation and iteration to find what works. Through the 99 ecosystem, I'll be sharing insights on growth, marketing, systems and the lessons that come from building and improving products.

Abdalla Lotfy
Chief Executive Officer, 99 Data Rooms - 21 published pieces on this site.
Ex-founder in Fintech and healthcare, current founder of the 99 ecosystem. I have taken my experience through hands on building and learning to grow. At 99 we believe in moving fast but also doing the research, primary or secondary, to ship the product ready and fit for market.
Being a young founder I took a different route, where I dropped out of high school at 15, took my exams externally then joined King's College London where I finished my Bachelor's in science before starting my master's at Imperial College London. Other than 99 Data Rooms, I currently manage 99 App UK (an ethical fintech) and 99 Developer (a tech solutions studio). Here I write about dealmaking, secure data rooms and building the 99 ecosystem.
What we do not claim
None of us is a practising solicitor, and nothing on this site is legal advice. Where a subject is regulated we say so on the page, we link the primary source, and in at least one case we have withdrawn a template on counsel’s advice rather than keep offering it. How that is decided is set out in our editorial policy, and how we research and check what we publish is in our methodology.
