Found Up Information

FounderUP is an initiative dedicated to empowering young entrepreneurs across the MENA region to become drivers of meaningful change. Through a structured program that combines skills development, mentorship, and access to global networks, we support emerging leaders in transforming innovative ideas into impactful ventures. By positioning entrepreneurship as a tool for peacebuilding, social equity, and climate resilience, FounderUP equips youth to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. We actively bridge the gap between the MENA and European ecosystems, fostering cross-cultural collaboration and creating opportunities for knowledge exchange, partnership, and growth. At the heart of our work is a commitment to inclusivity and impact. We amplify the voices of marginalized youth, encourage creative problem-solving, and promote sustainable practices that contribute to more just and resilient communities. FounderUP is building a dynamic community of changemakers—young leaders who are not only shaping the future of entrepreneurship in the region, but also contributing to a more peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable world.
