The latest edition of the MINT Incubator , which helps startups grow and become investment-ready, has opened applications with EGBank and Cairo Angels.
In 2018, Cairo Angels and EGBank joined to establish the three-month equity-free MINT Incubator, which has subsequently been expanded to include many editions.
MINT incubator offers mentorship sessions lead by a variety of business professionals, academics and industry experts. Each incubated start-up is paired with a mentor who meets up with the start-up on a weekly basis to follow up with the team’s goals and KPIs. The mentor-start-up matching process is made carefully to ensure relevance in the expertise and experience provided by the mentor.
A series of mentoring sessions and workshops covering topics such as finance, sales and marketing, growth hacking, accounting basics, legal and governance, attracting and retaining talent, and branding are included in the three-month programme. Participants will also be provided with complimentary co-working space.
The MINT Incubator, which features a sector-agnostic track as well as a dedicated fintech-focused track, is designed for startups in the MVP stage. The incubator’s goal is to help startups in expanding their businesses and become more appealing investment opportunities.
The incubation cycle ends with the demo day, where all the top startup angel and venture capital investors in the region will be invited to attend. Until August 15, applications are open here.
