In the presence of representatives from the financial sector, investors, VCs, and experts from the fintech industry in Jordan, The Jordan Payments and Clearing Company, through its JOIN Fincubator, hosted a social event and mixer for the second cohort of the JOIN Fincubator Incubation Program.

The social event marks an important milestone as we approach the conclusion of the incubation program. Its significance lies in the fact that the startups are now finalizing their MVPs and preparing to establish relationships with potential investors, banks, and partners. This strategic networking is essential for paving the way toward their next milestones and ensuring their continued growth and success.

In a captivating panel discussion, Naser Saleh, founder of Madfoatcom, and Raed Al-Dado, founder of eDamana and an alumnus of JOIN Fincubator cohort 1, shared their unique entrepreneurial journeys, illuminating the evolution of the startup landscape over the past decade. Naser, who launched Madfoatcom ten years ago, reflected on the challenges and triumphs of building a successful venture in an earlier era, while Raed, poised to launch his product, highlighted the critical role of JOIN Fincubator in accelerating his journey. With its comprehensive support and strategic resources, JOIN Fincubator has provided Raed with invaluable mentorship and a strong network, enabling him to navigate the modern startup environment with confidence. Their exchange shed light not only on the significant changes in the entrepreneurial ecosystem but also on the importance of collaboration, guidance, and discipline in fostering innovation and success in today’s market.

This event is designed to align with JOIN Fincubator’s key strategic pillars of “Access to Partnerships”, “Access to Finance.”, and “Access to Markets”. By fostering direct interactions among diverse entities, the program facilitates invaluable connections that enable startups to access strategic partnerships with a range of institutions. This includes banks, financial institutions, global financial innovation organizations, as well as local and international accelerators, incubators, and academic think tanks. This allows our participants to strengthen their capacity and raise their visibility while making vital connections and collaborations that could turn into long-term relationships.

The Demo Day, the final step in the JOIN Fincubator incubation program journey, is set to take place early next year. During this pivotal event, our startups will have the opportunity to pitch their business ideas to key stakeholders from the banking and fintech sectors, as well as members of the startup ecosystem and potential investors and partners.
