Hub71’s Initiate programme is supporting founders at the ideation and pre-MVP stages as they work to turn early concepts into scalable startups in Abu Dhabi.
Delivered with selected venture builders, the programme offers hands-on support to validate products, build a minimum viable product and establish product-market fit. It is open to founders across sectors including FinTech, ClimateTech, Life Sciences and EdTech.
Selected startups receive tailored venture-building support, soft-landing guidance and access to Hub71’s ecosystem. Benefits include free office space at Hub71 for the first year, a network of more than 150 corporate, government and investment partners, and proximity to ADGM’s regulatory environment.
The programme follows several stages: application submission, venture builder assessment, onboarding, soft landing in Abu Dhabi and participation in the venture builder programme. Graduating startups may also be assessed for progression to Hub71’s Access programme.
Initiate does not list a programme duration, number of places, equity terms or application deadline on the programme page.
