Following almost 6 months of intensive workshops, months of services, and hours of mentorship, Jusoor and Spark, in collaboration with the Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD), are concluding their Startup Roadshow Wired with a final Demo Day on Thursday, July 8.
Under the motto “No Entrepreneur Should be Left Behind,” the virtual boot camp was launched in February and brought together 6,000 entrepreneurs from Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq. The top 50 businesses were selected to participate in the incubation phase, and were provided 3 months of services, including 50+ hours of specialized group business training, 600+ hours of 1:1 mentorship, 100+ hours of 1:1 legal and marketing consultation, and direct business services worth over $100,000 USD. From these 50 businesses, the organizers chose the top 13 teams to showcase their projects at the Demo Day on July 8 and compete for the cash prizes of $15,000, $10,000, and $5,000 for first, second, and third places.
The Startup Roadshow Wired Demo Day will feature several keynote speakers from the organizers and donors and special speakers and 13 top teams will showcase their projects to the judges. A panel discussion will also be held discussing “Investing in Syrian and Host Community Entrepreneurs in the Middle East.”
The winners of the Startup Roadshow-Wired will win a total of $60,000 in cash prizes.
