As a founder, you may wonder if joining an accelerator is crucial for your startup’s success. While not every startup needs an accelerator, here are some reasons why they can be game-changing: 1. Speed to Market: Accelerators help compress months of learning, networking, and growth into a short period, enabling startups to launch and scale faster than going solo. 2. Expert Mentorship: Access to seasoned mentors and industry experts can provide insights and guidance that accelerate your startup's development and market fit, helping you avoid common pitfalls. 3. Network Opportunities: Building relationships with investors, partners, and other entrepreneurs can take years. Accelerators offer immediate access to valuable networks, which can be the key to securing funding or strategic partnerships. 4. Proof of Concept: Many accelerators offer opportunities to pilot your product with corporate partners, providing real-world validation and increasing your credibility. As a result, accelerators can provide the necessary boost to fast-track your success. startAD offers these benefits and more, making it a low-risk, high-reward opportunity for ambitious startups. Ready to take the leap? 🚀 startAD is here to help you thrive. #startAD #NYUAD #NYUAbuDhabi #Tamkeen

This program will equip ten pioneering Emirati women entrepreneurs with tools and networks to scale their businesses globally, reinforcing the UAE’s rapid strides in gender equality and innovation. Our deepest thanks to the incredible voices that made this event so memorable: 🎨 Sara Al Shorouqi, founder of RFLCT Creative Arts, who, along with her visionary mother are making art accessible and enjoyable to every resident of the country 🖌️ Shaikha Al Azeezi, founder of Madr Design Studio. She is creating products and architecture that bring the UAE's cultural authenticity to the fore. Each product is built in the UAE and is being celebrated at global forums from Venice to Paris and beyond 🎼 Tala Badri, founder of the Centre for Musical Arts, a true trailblazer who broke new ground as the first female Emirati music graduate from Royal Holloway, University of London. Her business is a pillar in the cultural community. Emily Yu of @Ginger Ah designs, which produces intimate apparel specially tailored for breast cancer patients. Lana Farouki and Genna May, envisioning and bringing this to life together, was fantastic. Lana AlZoubi Ayyash, MBA Daleya Uddin, yet another milestone to celebrate.
