Endeavor UAE, the local affiliate of the global network for high-impact entrepreneurs, has officially launched its inaugural Unicorn Builder program. The initiative, created in partnership with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism and the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, is designed to support a select group of high-potential founders in scaling their companies into global billion-dollar enterprises.
Nurturing High-Growth Companies
The five-month Unicorn Builder program offers a tailored growth journey for each of the ten startups selected for its first cohort. These companies, which have a median age of four years and have collectively raised over $100 million in funding, were chosen through a rigorous selection process in collaboration with leading regional investment funds. The program aims to address a critical “scaling gap” in the UAE’s startup ecosystem by providing the infrastructure needed for high-potential companies to transition from regional players to global leaders.
Program Benefits and Structure
Participants in the program will receive comprehensive support structured to accelerate their growth. Key benefits include one-on-one mentorship from experienced global founders and industry leaders, masterclasses with international operators, and strategic support in fundraising and international expansion. A significant emphasis is placed on peer-to-peer learning, allowing founders to share insights and tackle operational challenges in curated group sessions. The initiative reinforces Dubai’s strategic goal of becoming a global hub for innovation and digital economy.
