Reactor

Reactor is a 6-month program entrepreneurship program aimed at supporting and accelerating startups in Egypt with a high potential to have accelerated growth. Selected Startups will receive mentoring, training, support services, and possibly a monetary investment. In addition to itself being an investment program, the Startup Reactor acts as an experimental investment in these new startups, as well as preparing them to be good quality businesses for further investment during the venture stage. To join, startups apply online, and go through an interview, and can then be selected. The most successful startups in the first stage, called Ignition, then go on to continue in the Startup Reactor. About half-way through the program, the startups pitch to an investment committee for investment, while continuing in the program. More advanced startups coming out of the Ignition stage may also go on to receive venture investment of a larger size right away.
