A Majlis for the Founders of Tomorrow.
A free, sponsor-funded community network bringing together founders across UAE and MENA in curated city chapters. No fees. No gatekeeping. Just founders, together.
What is Founders Majlis?
Free for all founders, funded entirely by corporate and institutional sponsors
Complementary to accelerators — a community layer, not a competing program
Application-based curation: not open to everyone, but open to any qualifying founder
Regular programming: meetups, masterclasses, investor access, peer learning
Part of the Al Wasl impact engine — designed to create real opportunity, not just events
