Companies built and backed at The Core
From AI and biotech to climate and fintech, our alumni are reshaping industries across Jordan and beyond.
What founders say about The Core
A supportive network of mentors, a collaborative environment with other founders, and structured guidance to refine our model. Community and accountability, not just space.
Mentorship, strategic guidance, and exposure to a strong ecosystem. The Core helped us build the credibility to secure grants and partnerships.
More than space, The Core taught me to balance intuition with logic. That balance is now central to how I build and lead.
Critical mentorship that shaped our product roadmap, plus advisors who gave hands-on support refining our technology and go-to-market.
