This is where everything starts. We get to know your goals, your audience, and what success looks like. Whether it’s launching a regional accelerator, hosting a future-focused summit, or running a nationwide hackathon, we dig deep to understand what matters most and explore strategic ideas.
Now we turn ideas into experiences. We build the structure: defining the format, outlining journeys, creating themes, and shaping the content. This is where we pick the sectors, design your challenge prompts or mentorship tracks and map out every touchpoint that will make it unforgettable.
The behind-the-scenes magic. From onboarding partners and mentors to securing venues, finalizing platforms, building the evaluation criteria, and launching outreach - we get everything ready for prime time. It’s the engine room before the spotlight.
Game time. We bring the energy, the flow, and the on-ground team to make things happen. From event day to program kickoff, everything runs with precision including check-ins to content delivery to handling surprises mid-event.
Let’s build momentum. This is where we support participants beyond the launch: through mentorship, business clinics, pitch coaching, community check-ins, or even pilot testing with partners. It’s how ideas grow into real world wins.
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bolt Consultancy on several early-stage entrepreneurship programs in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with key ecosystem partners. The Bolt team consistently delivered with clarity, care, and commitment , always aligning with the goals of both the program and the client. Each engagement built meaningfully on the last, and even with a lean team, their impact was powerful. They went above and beyond in execution, bringing real value to every aspect of delivery."
