About Flat6Labs UAE
Flat6Labs is a seed-stage startup accelerator and investor founded in Cairo in 2011. It has grown into one of the most active early-stage investors in the Middle East and Africa, running programmes in several countries, including the UAE.
Its accelerator model combines investment with support. Startups selected for a cohort receive seed funding in exchange for equity, along with workspace, mentoring, training and access to investors and partners.
Over a programme lasting several months, founders work on refining their product, finding customers, building their teams and preparing to raise further funding. Programmes usually end with a demo day where startups pitch to investors.
Flat6Labs has backed hundreds of startups across sectors such as fintech, e-commerce, health, education and software.
In Abu Dhabi, its programme has been part of the emirate's efforts to build a startup ecosystem, alongside Hub71 and other initiatives.
Seed accelerators help fill a gap at the earliest stage, when startups find it hardest to raise money.
Flat6Labs is an Egypt-founded organisation rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE programme among the country's accelerators.
