What in5 events offer founders
Hands-on sessions for start-ups
in5 runs networking events, coaching workshops, mentorship sessions, panel discussions and educational forums. The events we list are practical and aimed at founders who are building and raising money, such as a workshop on building an investor-ready data room and an investor Q&A masterclass on pitching with confidence, both at in5 Tech in Dubai Internet City.
Support beyond events
For start-ups that join, in5’s core services are set-up and logistics support, mentoring, training, networking and access to funding. Founders can also meet investors through the in5 Investor Hub at in5 Tech. Start-ups referred by Dubai Chambers receive a two-month discount on their first-year lease, according to the Dubai Chambers partner page.
Who it suits
- Founders at the idea or early stage who want structure and mentoring
- Start-ups preparing to raise investment
- Entrepreneurs in tech, media, design or science
- Anyone curious about the Dubai start-up scene who wants to meet founders and investors
How to apply
Entrepreneurs of any nationality can apply to in5, as individuals or as companies, and applications are reviewed by a committee of industry experts. Costs depend on the centre and package, so check with in5 directly. For events, each listing on Thingstodo.ae shows the price and registration details from the official page.
Getting the most from an in5 workshop
- Register early, as practical founder sessions often have limited seats.
- Bring a real question from your own start-up, such as a slide from your pitch deck or a gap in your data room.
- Stay for the networking afterwards: the founders in the room are often facing the same challenges as you.
- Connect with speakers on LinkedIn the same day while the session is fresh.
