Global Opportunities Aren't Found. They're Engineered.

The GCC region is growing faster than ever. With rising investments, progressive regulations, and a hunger for innovation, Qatar and its neighbours are becoming the next big startup hub.

But global expansion isn’t just about ambition. It requires validation, vision, and the right gateway. That’s what this program offers.

The First Step: Deep Validation, Global Direction

What Happens in the Session?

We’ll assess how your startup makes money, delivers value, and sustains operations. The goal is to test whether your model is economically viable and globally scalable—especially for markets like Qatar and the GCC
We’ll evaluate whether the problem you’re solving actually exists in your target market—and whether your solution solves it effectively. This ensures your idea is more than just innovative—it’s market-relevant

We’ll look at how your startup can grow across new markets, including tech infrastructure, team capability, and funding readiness. The aim is to see if your model is GCC-ready or needs fine-tuning.

MBK’s 5-Criteria Fit:

Is the founder driven, clear in their vision, and capable of leading global expansion?
Does the idea introduce a new solution or significantly improve an existing one?
Is the product or service needed in both India and the Gulf region? Is there real demand?
Can the business grow efficiently across geographies, especially in the GCC?
Is the startup attractive to investors? Does the model show clear revenue generation potential?
