StartupToGo is built to scale across the GCC's international school network. Whether your school sits in Doha, Dubai, Riyadh, Manama, Muscat, or Kuwait City, the platform delivers the same outcome: students ship a live product, present it on stage, and walk away with a founder story for their university applications.
Every GCC country has a national vision built around the same thing: a generation of local founders building inside a knowledge economy. Qatar National Vision 2030, UAE Centennial 2071, Saudi Vision 2030, Bahrain Vision 2030 — they all share this premise. International schools are where most of the region's future founders sit today.
What's missing is the structure that connects the rhetoric to a working pipeline. Business classes teach theory. Pre-incubators teach mindset. Incubators are built for adult founders. There is no off-the-shelf programme that takes a Grade 10 or 11 student from a blank page to a live product they pitch on a stage — except StartupToGo.
The programme is the same in Doha as it would be in Dubai or Riyadh. Six sessions. Five modules. One Demo Day. AI guidance throughout. Your teachers facilitate. Your students ship.
One platform
Every cohort uses the same AI-guided platform. Onboard a new campus in days, not months. Replit sponsors the coding credits — zero tech cost regardless of country.
One curriculum
The 5-module structure works without modification across IB, British, American, and Indian curriculums. Maps to CAS, Personal Project, UCAS personal statements, AP Capstone, and CBSE entrepreneurship streams.
One Demo Day model
Every cohort ends with a live Demo Day at the school. We provide the run-of-show, brief your students, and prepare the judge materials. Your school provides the room — that is it.
The inaugural cohort at Arab International Academy Lusail ran in April 2026 — 14 students enrolled, 14 live products shipped, 100% completion. The 2026/27 academic year opens the programme to international schools across the GCC.
StartupToGo runs in any international school in the GCC. The inaugural cohort ran at Arab International Academy Lusail, Qatar in April 2026. Schools in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait can run the programme in the 2026/27 academic year using the same digital platform and the same teacher-facilitated structure.
The platform is English-language, but the AI guidance supports Arabic-native students throughout. Teachers can facilitate in either language. Pitch decks and product copy can be authored in either language. Many GCC international schools choose to run the programme in English to align with university-application English requirements.
A single school group can run cohorts in parallel across campuses with shared facilitator training. The platform scales per student — Digital Only is QAR 200 (or local-currency equivalent) per student per year, minimum 10 per cohort. Multi-campus pricing is custom-quoted; WhatsApp +974 520 46 176 for a group quote.
Replit sponsors free coding credits for every student in every cohort — zero technology cost to your school. ThirtyDays.ai mentors the top 3 winners per cohort. Fursa Foundation supports programme graduates. The MCIT Digital Incubation Center is the institutional partner in Qatar; equivalent partners are being established in other GCC markets.
Yes. We arrange site visits and Demo Day invitations for serious prospective partner schools across the GCC. WhatsApp Bilal at +974 520 46 176 to schedule a visit or join a Demo Day livestream.
Partnerships open for 2026/27. We respond from Doha within 24 hours, in English or Arabic.
