The Fellowship
As the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors continue to engage with social & environmental issues, the demand for conscious investment opportunities continues to grow.
After the resounding success of its inaugural cohort, startAD at NYU Abu Dhabi and VentureSouq have joined forces this year with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Wa’ed from ARAMCO, and the United States Mission to the UAE to empower the next generation of mission-driven stakeholders from the GCC.
The Conscious Investor Fellowship is the first pan-regional impact investor program for GCC-based private, corporate, government and family office investors. The fellowship will take place between September - November 2021 with optional pre-fellowship sessions in August and monthly masterclasses that will begin in December 2021.
Fellows will also be a part of the 7th Annual Angel Rising Investor Education Symposium, taking place in March 2022. Angel Rising has grown to be a leading voice demystifying the startup investing landscape, and ultimately inspiring more stakeholders to fuel greater innovation in the GCC and beyond.
