TAQADAM Accelerator

TAQADAM is a startup accelerator powered by the extraordinary networks of KAUST and SABB. Since 2016, we’ve been helping innovators push the boundaries of what’s possible and transform their dreams into a reality. We work with startups at all stages of growth and from any industry. Over 6-months, we guide entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to market through mentorship, funding and in-depth sessions. Teams receive $40,000 in non-dilutive funding, with an additional follow-on funding of $100,000 for 10 startups to be granted on the day of the Showcase, and access to co-working spaces across Saudi Arabia. Our method focuses on product design, market fit, business model planning, team development and fundraising. Startups graduate with a toolkit to accelerate their business, gain access to potential customers and develop an exceptional network of mentors and investors.
