Budding Entrepreneurs

The deadline for applications for our 4th batch has closed. Applications for the 5th Batch will be open soon.

Who do we want to invest with

  • You

    High potential, motivated and dedicated Bahraini founders and employees

  • Your idea and Your Vision

    Innovative, new for the region and scalable to expand outside of Bahrain.

    It helps if you've done some research into potential customers, suppliers, costs etc. - most of these you can do with a phone call or a meeting.Most successful startups change their idea substantially, so we can help you develop your concept.

  • Your team

    This is what matters the most to us. We're looking for a dedicated team.

    We look for honesty, determination, brains, motivation, and a sense of design, and a will to succeed against all odds. Experience is helpful but not critical.

    The ideal company would have a team of 2-4 people. We'll consider those with 4 or 5.

    If you are just one person, we would suggest you look for a partner first, or apply and keep in mind you will need to get someone else on board very quickly after you receive funding. A start-up is too difficult to do completely on your own.

    We're looking for companies that can really do something substantial in the first 3 months after they're started. We want you to grow outside of Bahrain and be ambitious.

  • What are we NOT looking for?

    Real-estate projects.
    Incredibly capital intensive projects.
    Regular ideas in a very competitive market.
    Ideas with no market or minimal potential.
