Misk Entrepreneurship is partnering with Plug and Play Middle East to launch its 2nd cohort of the Misk Accelerator, a seed-stage accelerator for tech startups offering an intensive 12-week program aimed to accelerate startups’ growth and expansion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In its second batch, a qualified cohort of 20 startups will participate in the Misk Accelerator program powered by Plug and Play Middle East, a 12-week non-equity program providing local, regional, and international startups with all the mentorship, resources and tools aimed at accelerating their growth and expansion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
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 a number of training modules, including market study, product development, talent development, business strategy, business development, finance, marketing, and more.
The cohort startups will have 24/7 access to a dynamic and versatile virtual workspace to enable their teamwork and connectivity to the accelerator program and support team.
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; business development, 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 movers and shakers with the KSA and wider MENA tech ecosystem.
