Flat6Labs, Google For Startups Launch Nawah Pre-Accelerator In Palestine
Launching October 19 this year, the four-month-long Nawah program aims to take Palestinian founders from idea to minimum viable product, offering mentorship, workshops, and investor access.
Egypt-headquartered entrepreneurship platform Flat6Labs, with backing from Google for Startups, has rolled out the Nawah Pre-Accelerator Program to support entrepreneurs in Palestine.
Kicking off on October 19, 2025, and running through January 29, 2026, the four-month-long initiative aims to help Palestinian founders turn their entrepreneurial ideas into viable tech startups. Along the way, they’ll gain access to mentorship, workshops, and a network of peers and investors, giving them the tools to validate, build, and pitch with confidence.
This program aims to support up to 20 startups, with founders set to benefit from hands-on coaching, practical training, and fundraising guidance, all leading up to a showcase day that will see up to 10 high-potential startups will present their ideas to investors and partners.
To apply, startups must be based in Palestine, in the idea or the minimum viable product (MVP) stage, and working on a tech-driven solution with cross-market potential. Founders are expected to commit to the full four-month journey, which blends online and in-person sessions.
The process for entry into the program begins with an online application followed by interviews with the Flat6Labs team. Selected applicants will then enter a three-day bootcamp designed to sharpen their concepts before the final group of 20 is chosen.
By the end of the program, participating startups will have refined their business models, tested their assumptions, built prototypes, and polished their pitches, thereby positioning themselves for pre-seed investment and early growth.
Applications for the program are now open until September 25, 2025.
