Techstars, the Saudi National Bank and the Saudi Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT), launched two Techstars Founder Catalyst programs in Jeddah and Al Ahsa.
The first edition of the programs will aim at supporting founders across various industries in enhancing their entrepreneurial skills, understand their target customers, and dig into the innovative solutions they are offering.
The Techstars Founder Catalyst Jeddah / Al Ahsa is a 10-week hybrid program with two distinct cohorts based out of Jeddah and Al Ahsa in Saudi Arabia. The program invites early-stage founders from all industries, with a preference for founders in media tech, from across the world to participate and shape the future of the Kingdom’s startup ecosystem.
Both programs will run in a hybrid format from September to November (Jeddah) / December (Al Ahsa) 2023 and provide more than 50 founders with valuable masterclasses, mentorship, community and access to Techstars’ worldwide network of entrepreneurs, mentors, investors and partners.
Founders will also receive support from Saudi National Bank’s and the Saudi Ministry of Communications and Information Technology’s (MCIT) vast technology and business expertise across a variety of business units.
Applications for both Founder Catalyst programs are now open.
All early-stage founders – especially in media tech – are encouraged to apply until 13 August, 2023 (Jeddah) or 27 August, 2023 (Al Ahsa). Early applications are prioritized. For any question, founders can contact the program management at [email protected]
