Propeller, a company specializing in venture capital and AI infrastructure, has announced the launch of the first cohort of its annual Kernel Camp program in Silicon Valley. Five startups from Tunisia, Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt are participating in this intensive eight-week program. The goal is to integrate Arab entrepreneurs into the global innovation ecosystem and provide opportunities to connect with international experts and investors, boosting their projects' growth and accelerating their global expansion. This program comes at a crucial time when Arab founders need real support to overcome challenges related to accessing experts and investors in major tech hubs, despite the abundance of technical talent and skills in the region. Kernel Camp offers them a chance to be directly present in Silicon Valley, participate in specialized workshops and mentoring sessions, and visit major tech companies and investment funds. This all helps speed up their learning process and sustainably expand their projects.
