Built for First-Time Founders. Backed by Real Entrepreneurs
Built for founders
who don't have
a roadmap yet
Most entrepreneurship programmes were built for MBA graduates with budgets and networks. We built Entreprenerds for the 21-year-old with a business idea and nothing else — because that's exactly who we were.

10 Gates - 1 Path
Train 1 million entrepreneurs by 2040
We're building the most accessible entrepreneurship programme in the world — delivered in English, Arabic, and French. We partner with universities, accelerators, and organisations to bring practical tools, mentorship, and networks to founders who wouldn't otherwise have access. No gatekeeping. No jargon. Just the tools to build something real.
The gap no one was filling
Most entrepreneurship programmes were designed for MBA students — people who already had experience, capital, and a network. They weren't built for the first-time founder figuring things out from scratch.
We built Entreprenerds to close that gap. Our 10 Gates programme is built on MIT's Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework — the same methodology taught at one of the world's top universities — adapted for founders at the very beginning of their journey.
“Every Gate takes you one step closer to launching — from identifying your first customer to making your first sale.”
A living curriculum, not a static course.
Through the Entreprenerds Podcast, we interview real founders about their journeys — the wins, the failures, the lessons nobody talks about. Those conversations don't just become content. They become case studies, updated lessons, and practical insights woven directly into the programme.
Originally developed for founders in the UK and Europe, the curriculum has since been adapted for the Middle East and Africa — with Arabic and French language support, regional case studies, and input from local founders and experts.
Over 200 founders have completed the programme. Roughly half from the UK and US. Half from the Gulf region — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
