The Explorer program provides, where applicable, seed resources for each team in the range of (5000 MAD to 250.000 MAD); being matched with globally and locally experienced mentors with knowledge of a vast array of technologies, businesses, and disciplines; and ushering the ventures through their various stages including business plans, customer discovery, early product definition, technology development, intellectual property, and legal structure. The Explorer program is a community of diverse innovators and entrepreneurs eager to impact the Moroccan, African, and/or Global entrepreneurship ecosystem and advance business, technology, product, and social endeavors in those systems. The Explorer program believes in the philosophy of learning by doing, need-based learning, and open access. The culmination of cohorts that last 4-5 months each is an Explorer showcase where groups can put their businesses on display and an opportunity to pitch to a funding board.
