Startup Roadshow 4: Accelerating success
For Anthony Kreidy and Nour Adabachy, the Startup Roadshow 4 experience was an accelerator to success. From mentorship sessions in accounting, management, marketing, and finance.
“They helped us create this infrastructure in our company”
Anthony Kreidy says.
Startup Roadshow 4, which received co-funding from SPARK, the Islamic Development Bank, and the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund, featured a series of in-person hackathons held in Jordan and Lebanon, where 263 aspiring entrepreneurs from Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and Lebanon gathered at these hackathons to acquire knowledge, forge connections, and receive valuable guidance and mentorship in establishing and expanding their own businesses. Following the hackathons, the top 85 teams from both countries were chosen to enter the now-accredited incubation phase of the program, where they received specialized training, 1:1 mentoring, and web and design services.
The Startup Roadshow 4 culminated in two Demo Days in Jordan and Lebanon where the top ten teams in each country pitched their businesses to a panel of judges. The first-place team received $7,000, the second-place team received $5,000, and the third-place team received $3,000.
Questa was one of the top ten teams that pitched to judges on the Demo Day in Beirut.
“It was a new experience and a challenge for us”
