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

Deadline: 3-Aug-23

The Bootcamp for Accelerator Managers (BAM) Egypt by 500 Global, offered in collaboration with the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), is designed to train and up-skill Accelerators and Incubators in Egypt.

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.
