Certified coachFounders make many decisions alone, often under time and resource pressure. An independent thinking partner improves the quality of those decisions and reduces the cost of mistakes.
The programme combines coaching that helps founders think through decisions with experience-based mentoring when needed, goal tracking on the platform and reports for the sponsoring organisation.
We deliver Entrepreneur Coaching for government, semi-government, private and non-profit organisations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Khobar and across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, in person or online, in Arabic and English.

Can it run inside incubation programmes?+
Yes, for founder cohorts in incubators, accelerators and support programmes, with reports for the sponsor.
How is impact on the business measured?+
Through indicators the founder agrees with the coach at the start, such as growth milestones, sales or team building, plus the founder's evaluation.
