Pitch By The Pyramids - RiseUp

Building on the successes of past startup competitions and RiseUp’s extensive reach in MENA’s startup ecosystem, RiseUp is launching the region’s greatest pitch competition yet, Pitch by the Pyramids.

Startups from across the Middle East and Africa are invited to join by participating in their local country qualifiers hosted by our regional partners in Cairo, Dubai, Tunis, Beirut, Riyadh, Amman, Baghdad and Ramallah.

Finalists will get to Pitch by the Pyramids at the grand final event at the Pyramids of Giza, in Egypt. Among the hundreds that will be in attendance are local and international media heavyweights, renowned investors, and industry leaders waiting to hear what MENA’s got to offer this year!

For thousands of generations, the pyramids stood as a symbol of innovation for Egypt and the region. Today, they stand as a reminder for the world’s youth that the impossible can be built. That’s why RiseUp is inviting MENA’s most inspiring youth to participate in Pitch by the Pyramids, and get the chance to stand where history’s greatest once stood and tell a story that could one day change the future.

This is not just a competition for startups to showcase their ideas, but also a program that provides the startups with relevant webinars, mentor-ship and coaching that would help them develop as individuals and as an entity.
