Access Programme — Eligibility Criteria

The Hub71 Access Programme is specifically designed for pre-seed to Series A startups. This means it targets companies from their initial development phase up to those that have achieved significant traction and are seeking to raise their first institutional rounds of funding.

Applicants should be established startups with a demonstrable product or service. They should be seeking substantial investment opportunities and aiming to strategically establish a strong presence in Abu Dhabi to scale their business within the MENA region and globally.

A crucial requirement for participation is that at least one founder must commit to long-term relocation and building a core team out of Abu Dhabi. This ensures active engagement with the Hub71 ecosystem, full utilization of local resources, and contribution to the regional tech talent pool.

To apply, startups must submit a comprehensive pitch deck in PDF format. This deck should clearly outline:

• The problem they are solving
• Their proposed solution and unique value proposition
• A sustainable business model
• The competitive landscape and target market
• Existing traction or milestones achieved
• Funds raised to date
• Profiles of the founders and founding team
• Detailed plans for leveraging Hub71 and the Abu Dhabi ecosystem for their growth

Access Programme is open to startups at the product and revenue stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.
