The accelerator is aimed at seed-stage tech startups operating or expanding into the Saudi market, to put them on a rapid growth path through an intensive training program offering a hybrid experience (physical and virtual), which includes several training modules, including market study, product development, talent development, business strategy, growth hacking, finance, marketing, and more.
Here is more on what you can expect:
Access to the City Hub to attend masterclasses and work independently or collaboratively in a shared office space.
To best understand your needs and objectives for the program so that we can better tailor the experience for you.
You will be trained by exceptional tech leaders and coaches who are experts in areas essential for your startups journey. This includes design-thinking & product development; team & talent development; business & finance strategy, growth hacking and marketing etc.
You will be matched with a mentor that will be well suited to provide you with helpful guidance to support your growth. Where possible and suitable, we will help set up meetings with potential end-users of your technology (particularly if B2B) and/or potential suitable investors on an ad-hoc basis.
A member of the Plug and Play team will help you to track and plan your progress systematically every week.
We will periodically host social and professional gatherings for the whole cohorts and the wider KSA tech ecosystem to help motivate and enable your startup’s potential.
This will be the conclusion of the program where each startup will be presenting the solution and tractions throughout the program to a select audience of investors, end-users and other key stakeholders within the KSA and wider MENA tech ecosystem.
