Startup Gate, a digital platform dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship in Egypt, has announced the launch of nine new programs as part of the second phase of its startup empowerment initiative. The new phase aims to stimulate the ecosystem by facilitating an expected EGP 450 million in investments for participating startups.

A Strategic Partnership for Growth

This second phase is launched in collaboration with Startup Egypt, a non-governmental organization focused on supporting the country’s entrepreneurial landscape.

Selected startups will gain access to a comprehensive support structure that includes mentorship, business development assistance, growth support, and crucial access to funding. The EGP 450 million in expected investments will be channeled through M-Empire’s established angel investor network.

To enhance its support system, Startup Gate is actively expanding its network of mentors, bringing in specialized experts from Egypt and abroad. The platform also intends to join an international network to adopt the acclaimed mentorship methodology developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Building on Previous Success

The latest announcement builds on the momentum of the initiative’s first phase, which was launched in October and successfully engaged 750 startups, mentors, and investors. With the new programs, Startup Gate expects the total number of participants to reach 3,000 by the end of the year.
