Saudi Arabia's Misk Foundation zero-equity 12-week accelerator for tech startups seeking to operate and scale in the Kingdom.
The Misk Accelerator is a Riyadh-based 12-week hybrid (in-person and virtual) programme founded in 2019 by Misk Foundation, a non-profit charity. It accepts 20 tech startups per cohort, running two cohorts per year (Cohort 11: April-July 2025; Cohort 12: October-December 2025). The programme takes zero equity and offers no direct funding, instead providing mentorship, workshops, and tools for KSA market entry and growth. It has supported 193+ startups across 11 cohorts since 2019. Program duration: 12 weeks.
