Startup Accelerator HUB — a full recap of the 2025 event calendar.

The HUB was built for one reason: to create a place where founders, operators, and the people who back them could actually be in the same room on a regular basis. Twelve months and fourteen events later, this is a full look at what happened in 2025, what worked, and what we are evolving for 2026.

What the HUB is.

The HUB is the public-facing programming arm of the Startup Accelerator. It runs evening talks, half-day deep dives, founder dinners, investor office hours, and two flagship summits each year. Everything is free for founders, and curated specifically for the realities of building in Morocco.

The 2025 calendar in numbers.

• Events run: 14
• Distinct formats: 6
• Total participants: 820+
• Unique founders: 410
• Operators and mentors on stage: 96
• Investor partners involved: 22

The formats that worked best.

Founder dinners.

Small, invitation-only dinners around a single sharp topic ended up being the highest-signal format of the year. We will run more of them in 2026 – and we will be more deliberate about who is in the room.

Operator deep dives.

Half-day sessions with a single experienced operator – covering pricing, sales, or hiring – consistently produced the strongest feedback. Founders left with frameworks they used the same week.

“The HUB works when the people in the room have actually done the thing being talked about. That is the only test that matters.”

What did not work as well.

Some panel formats were too broad. Several large, hybrid online-in-person events lost intimacy without gaining real reach. Both will be redesigned for 2026.

What is coming in 2026.

The 2026 calendar leans further into small-group formats, adds a quarterly investor-founder office hours track, and introduces a sector-focused series rotating through fintech, healthtech, and agritech. The first dates will be published in the coming weeks.

How to get involved.

If you would like to be on the HUB invitation list, or if you are an operator who could lead a deep dive in your area of expertise, the easiest path is to get in touch directly. The community is small enough that real introductions still matter.
