Startlabz, the venture lab of StartAppz, was founded early 2019 with a focus on supporting early stage (pre-seed) startups in the MENA region. The program helps those startups fundraise at an early stage to help them reach stages that qualify them for institutional investment. In order to achieve this, Startlabz launched a virtual pitch ev The program aims to offer startups, that are at a pre-seed stage, the opportunity to network, pitch to investors, and find the right mentorship. Startups will also have access to our team of coaches to help prepare them for their investor pitch. Startlabz runs a virtual pitch event every 4 months where the selected startups can pitch their ideas and get funding from our angel network. Our Virtual Pitch Event!
