“BAM Egypt” to train and up-skill Accelerators and Incubators

During this 5 day in-person program, 500 will share curated lessons and best practices from accelerators including:

• Attracting quality deal flow
• Finding experienced mentors
• Designing valuable curriculum

This is a tuition free program.

The Approach

• The teaching methodology is focused on experiential learning and 1:1 feedback, giving you practical insights that you can apply to your program immediately.
  • Action-Based Exercises
    • Work with your peers during interactive role-playing sessions to learn by doing.
  • Learn from Experienced Mentors
    • The team is composed of seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem experts that will share insights and best practices from running accelerator programs around the world.
  • The 500 Global Startup Evaluation Playbook
    • Bring theory into practice based on 500 Global’s step by step process of evaluating startups based on 10 years of accelerator management experience with international deal flow.

Catalysts for Growth

• In emerging startup ecosystems, accelerators and tech hubs face the challenge of supporting startups while being ´startups´ themselves, often struggling to find sustainable business models.
• BAM Egypt has been specially designed to empower accelerators to amplify their impact and support the region’s future entrepreneurs.
• Ideal participants are:
  • Accelerators and incubators based in Egypt or those who work primarily with Egyptian startups.
  • Be able to commit to 5 days of in-person learning in Cairo.
  • Be proficient in written and spoken English.
• To maximize the effectiveness of this learning experience, they recommend bringing two team members from your organization. Ideally, the two team members joining BAM should include one person at the director/strategic level and the second from the operations/program manager level so that you can have the necessary support to implement your game plan from this program.
