Our Journey, From Crisis to Global Scale

Every feature we built came from a real problem. Every step we took came from listening to the ecosystem.

The Spark During the Storm

When COVID-19 hit and programs went online overnight GrowthLabs was born out of one big question: What if ecosystem enablers had one integrated platform to manage, run, and measure their programs — remotely and at scale?

Deep Listening، Gathering & Validation

We spent the year gathering insights from universities, incubators, and accelerators across MENA. We didn’t build software, we gathered use cases, mapped pain points, and designed around real-world constraints.

Our First Fully Functional MVP

After countless iterations, we released the first working version of GrowthLabs. It included modules for startup onboarding, mentorship, milestone tracking, and impact reporting. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked. And more importantly, it was built with purpose.

First Client

We launched our first paid pilot with a regional incubation program — validating our approach and stress-testing the platform in a real operational environment.
