Venture Ideation & Incubation

Prototyping Innovation through Incubation

Shepherding innovative ideas to market requires disciplined business modeling, rapid prototyping, and an immersive understanding of the target market. OHK accelerates the process of innovation for its clients, whether public sector economic development authorities looking to create the conditions for high-impact enterprises, organizations trying to spur innovation in their operations, or even individual startups and entrepreneurs trying to iterate and scale in challenging markets. We understand innovation ecosystems, whether mature landscapes like Silicon Valley or emerging tech hubs like Amman and Cairo, and we help our clients navigate these ecosystems by creating immersive incubation programs, developing platforms for entrepreneurship support services, and advising high-growth startups directly on product development, market strategy, and growth management. 

In an effort to expand the scope of these services to better reach the Middle Eastern startup community, OHK is in the process of launching its Startup Incubation Platform. A unique incubation/residence program, the Platform will supercharge the growth of its startups—hand-picked by OHK's senior team—through providing access to seed finance, proximity to dominant markets, and a community of mentors and peers. The Platform, which includes a physical presence in both Cairo and Silicon Valley, immerses its incubatees in some of the world's most dynamic markets, empowering startups' rapid maturation and filling gaps in the entrepreneurial value chain.

OHK's first cadre of startups is expected to matriculate in late 2017 to early 2018.
