The 100 Entrepreneurs fellowship is a fully funded fellowship to graduate 100 capable entrepreneurs in Egypt every six months. The graduates are completely aware of what it takes to start, build, and grow a business. They are also equipped with the skills that form the DNA of a successful entrepreneur. This cohort will focus on HealthTech and EdTech startups.
The program is divided into 3 phases:
1- Learn Phase (3 Months)
Participants will go through various business, product, technical, and domain-specific topics and case studies. Learning is 100% online through Knowledge Officer’s platform and through sessions and panel discussions with the mentors and speakers.
2- Ideate Phase (1 Month)
Participants will form teams of co-founders and start observing and validating real problems, using their edges. By the end of this phase, participants will pitch their ideas in front of a panel of judges.
3- Build Phase (2 Months)
Co-founding teams that pass the second phase will work on building traction for their solutions. By the end of this phase, participants will present their startups’ solutions on a demo day in front of regional and international investors and the fellowship partners.
Throughout the fellowship, entrepreneurs will be introduced to various topics including Ideation, Customer Development, Marketing, Sales, Product Design, Fundraising, Legal and more. Those entrepreneurs will get access to exceptional partners, investors, and mentors who would support them in this early phase and beyond.
The fellowship will end with a demo day which will introduce a number of already founded startups as a result of this program and connect them with potential funding opportunities.
