Founder Stories

Hear about our programs from the participating founders!

Alo Hakeem | Digital Healthcare

Alo Hakeem team participated in the Maynger Mentorship Program

"Our experience as Alo Hakeem’s founders with the Maynger Mentorship Program was nothing short of exceptional. It was a highly enjoyable journey that propelled our startup to a whole new level of development.


Operating in Syria, we often face geographical and contextual barriers that limit our exposure to the latest trends in the global startup ecosystem. This program bridged that gap completely, placing us right in the heart of industry advancements.


Our first mentor, from Hong Kong with UNDP experience, was incredibly supportive; she shared her deep expertise and connected with us on a personal level, truly seeking to understand the unique struggles of the Syrian market while brainstorming creative solutions with us. 


The program organizers further amplified this support by connecting us with additional specialized mentors:


  • Founder of a top healthcare startup in Pakistan: Shared crucial wisdom gained from her journey as a co-founder of the Sehat Kahani platform and provided vital resources to bolster our PR efforts.
  • Seasoned technology & AI consultant: Provided instrumental tips and tricks that will significantly improve our technology stack.


The guidance we received fundamentally reshaped our perspective on our business model, leaving us better prepared and more confident for our upcoming investment rounds. 


We highly recommend this program to all pre-seed startups. It offers immense value, especially for founders building in post-conflict zones who need that vital connection to the broader entrepreneurial world."

Salehli | Matching platform for everyday services

Salehli 

"Maynger has been a real partner to Salehli, not just a program. As an early-stage marketplace building trusted service infrastructure in Syria, security and data are foundational to us, and Maynger stepped in exactly where it mattered.


1. Cybersecurity: They arranged a full penetration test of our platform at no cost. For a startup, this kind of security audit is usually prohibitively expensive, so having it done professionally gave us real confidence in our platform and a clear roadmap of fixes to harden it.


2.Data: Beyond security, they connected us with two experienced professionals from leading companies: one for a data analytics session, where we worked through Salehli's data as a strategic asset and how to structure it for future use cases like AI-driven pricing; and another for a product strategy session that sharpened how we think about building a durable moat in a trust-driven market.


Maynger's support made us more resilient and better prepared for what's next."
