Flat6Labs Launches Pre‑Accelerator Program for Palestinian Startups

Flat6Labs, supported by Google for Startups, has launched the Nawah Pre‑Accelerator Program, an innovative early-stage initiative designed to help aspiring Palestinian founders turn their entrepreneurial ideas into viable tech startups. The programme guides startups from concept to minimum viable product (MVP). It provides practical tools, mentorship, and resources to help founders validate, build, and pitch their businesses.

The Nawah Pre‑Accelerator Program supports up to 20 tech startups per cycle. Participants gain access to practical workshops, one-on-one mentorship, networking events, speaker sessions, pitch preparation, and fundraising guidance. Startups selected for the programme are expected to commit to the full four-month period, attending both online and in-person events.

Applicants must meet several criteria. They should be at the idea or MVP stage with an innovative, tech-driven solution addressing a clear, ongoing problem. Their solution should be applicable across multiple markets. Additionally, startups must be based in Palestine and able to attend all online and in-person sessions.

The programme follows a structured process. During the Open Applications and Selection phase, startups apply online, and eligible candidates are invited to interviews to present their ideas. The Bootcamp and Final Selection stage is a three-day intensive bootcamp that introduces essential startup concepts. Up to 20 startups are then selected to join the four-month programme. During the Programme phase, startups receive hands-on support in idea validation, customer discovery, market research, pitching, and early-stage growth fundamentals, while building connections with mentors, experts, and peers. The programme concludes with Showcase Day, a curated event where up to 10 high-potential startups present their ideas to investors and key partners.

Applications are open now and close on March 28th 2026, with the programme running from April 29th to 29th July 2026.
