Access to finance
We do not give loans or grants, but we open the road to finance for founders: we introduce them to investors, prepare them for those meetings, and refer them to the right partner.
What we offer
Angel investors
Angel investors are the closest partners to our work. We introduce them to projects that match their interests and arrange meetings when both sides agree. Investment funds also support us to prepare the founders they invest in.
Demo Day
Founders pitch their projects to investors. Our latest Demo Day brought together about 18 women and men founders and 5 investors.
Referrals to investment funds
We refer ready projects to investment funds and support organisations in the market, through our referral mechanism.
Financial readiness in EntreStations
The Numbers track covers pricing, customer cost, budgets and cash flow, and the Capital track covers investment readiness, so the numbers are ready before any funder meeting.
One-to-one financial advice
One-to-one sessions with accountants and finance experts from our network on cash management and budgeting, by referral.
Sponsor a founder
Sponsors cover the fees of founders who cannot pay. 14 seats in EntreStations have been sponsored so far, including by Sanad Youth.
For angel investors
Meet early-stage projects from a community of more than 180 founders. Attend our Demo Days and join our investor network so the right projects reach you.
For banks and microfinance institutions
We invite banks, microfinance institutions and Islamic finance providers to partner with us: joint financial literacy sessions, referrals of eligible projects, and introducing your products to founders.
We do not guarantee funding, and the final decision rests with the funder. We share no project data without the founder's consent, in line with our data protection policy.
