C5 Accelerate has kicked off its 5th cohort of the Cloud10 Scalerator program in just 20 months – can you imagine?! The accelerator has graduated 28 innovative startups so far, these included ONEGCC, Eazy Financial Services, Inagrab, Maliyya, Elephant Media, Excpy, Alpha FinTech, Prive, Eshipsol, and more.
The Cloud10 Scalerator is Bahrain’s first bespoke homegrown tech accelerator. The eight-week structured program provides startups with the opportunities to work closely with a global network of mentors to develop strategic plans to scale their businesses and then have the opportunity to pitch them to investors.
We couldn’t keep in our excitement, so we decided to share with you the newest and promising cohort of Cloud10. Here they are:
-
- Users Proof. Founded by Mohammad Abu Musa, an entrepreneur with 10 years’ worth of experience in software development, digital marketing, and sales, Users Proof is a startup that helps companies with testing their website and mobile apps, with the testers providing valuable feedback through video, audio, and text. Mohammed noted that these feedbacks help companies provide a better user experience that in turn will increase their sales.
- Swap. Kuwaiti startup Swap aims to solve a problem that everyone faces in their daily lives – being out of cash during outings. People rarely carry any cash with them, this can be an issue when it comes to group payments that require cash. This is where Swap comes in and easily allows peers to transfer and request money from their peers with just a tap. All you have to do is make an account, add your family and friends to it and start transferring the money through Swap. So, if your friends covered you for lunch, you can immediately pay them back through Swap. Swap was co-founded by three Kuwaiti entrepreneurs: Abdulwahab Alzankawi, CEO, Yousef Alfares, CMO, and Fares Almuhanna, CTO.
