Let's Rebuild in 2021. Applications Now Open to Founder Institute Jordan Virtual Summer 2021

Now is the time to rebuild: the world needs entrepreneurs to lead the way in creating a better future, for everyone.

Whether you have already launched a startup or are still in the idea-phase, this is the time to act. 2020 brought havoc to our health, our society, and our economy, and what remains is a world filled with reshuffling industries and new problems that need to be solved. In 2021, every entrepreneur has an opportunity to play a part in helping shape that better future.

That's why we are excited to announce applications are now open for the Jordan Virtual Summer 2021 program.

If you could use a structured process and a lifetime of support from MENA's top investors and entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, then apply to the Jordan Virtual Summer 2021 Founder Institute today.

We will be hosting several free startup online events in MENA over the coming weeks, where you can learn virtually from top entrepreneurs from the comfort of your home:
