WHAT IS ABOUT
TURN8 seed accelerator program is designed to encourage innovative
entrepreneurship worldwide, starting with Dubai. We will look for people with
ingenious ideas that can be refined and brought to market through a “seed
accelerator”, a program that selects start-up teams with marketable ideas and
supports them with funding, mentoring and training in exchange for a stake in any
resulting business.
TURN8 holds two 2 rounds a year, beginning by seeking innovative ideas through
an online campaign, and events in select countries with active start-up cultures,
followed by a 120-day funded “Rapid Fire” Business Modeling and Prototyping
seed accelerator, with extensive follow-on support.
