Step 2: At this point we want to get to know you better. You’ll be invited to a call with the SANDBOX team
Step 3: The final stage is pitching to our Selection Committee
- Team of 2+ full-time founders preferable (but we also consider exceptional solo-founders!)
- UAE-based technology-driven startup solving a unique problem with a scalable business model
- Addressable market in MENA with a nexus to Dubai
- MVP to seed-stage, seeking to raise funds in the next 12 months

1. Be genuine and transparent "We don't expect you to have everything figured out already. It is important that we can accurately understand which stage you are at, and where you intend to go."
2. Be concise with your pitch deck "At this stage, 10 slides or so should be enough to tell a compelling story. We have plenty of resources here to help you build your pitch deck."
3. Show us your product, but... "We like to play around with products or see demos, but again, keep it to the point. We want to see how intuitive your product is, and how well it solves the problem."
4. Why you? Why SANDBOX? “Highlight your motivations for joining the program, as well as your ambitions. Tell us how the world looks different with your solution in it.”
