Oasis500 is a leading early stage and seed investment company, the first of its kind in Jordan and the MENA region. The company began with a notion; building a new platform for entrepreneurship in the region by helping passionate ambitious entrepreneurs start their own companies.
Our program at Oasis500 includes entrepreneurship training, mentorship guidance, incubation and additional follow-up investment funds if required. We want to nurture creative ideas in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Mobile and Digital Media, transforming them into startup companies.


The focus is mainly on entrepreneurship in Jordan and the region. Our candidates’ ideas manifest a movement that can develop a strong solid generation of Arab entrepreneurs, consequently adding to a better future for the MENA region.
Our goal is clear: 500 startup companies in five years. It requires vision, focus and enthusiasm. It takes energy, effort and dedication.  Do you have what it takes to be part of Oasis500?


Why “Oasis500”?




Our part of the world has always been a hot-bed for great ideas and determined dreamers, but what comes after the idea? The word “Oasis” addresses a serious gap in the region; the lack of seed and early stage funding for technology ventures. As an entrepreneur who decides to pursue a new business idea, you may be able to start off by borrowing money from family and friends. That will take you a few steps forward if you use it wisely, but once you really need to grow you enter the “funding desert”.
It’s a dark and scary place where virtually no funding mechanisms are available until your company matures and has real revenues, a big business, and a solid track record. Our program is jumping in to build that special bridge that will keep you afloat as you sail across that desert between major funding milestones – we teach you all the tricks along the way too! You get all the seed, early-stage, and follow-on funding that you need.


How do we help you “Cross the Desert”?

1. Receive up to JD 10,000 in funding for the first round, up to JD 50,000 in the second and the chance to pitch to some of the best angel investors in the industry for even more cash:
2. We give you much more than just money! Attaining funding from the Oasis500 program will become your project’s stamp of approval for the future as your concepts and business models will be screened and put to the test by industry experts. You will be recognized!
3. You are free to spend the amount on anything related to the business. No strings attached – you can even give yourself a salary or hire a team!


Once a candidate gets chosen for the JD10,000 funding after successfully completing the Oasis500 boot camp, office space for the incubation period at the Business Park will be provided for a period between three and six months. The incubation period includes internet and hosting in additional to the initial funding, as well as a second round of funding for entrepreneurs who manage to grow after their first stage of incubation. The second stage of incubation includes up to JD50,000 in addition to legal advice, mentoring, networking opportunities with successful businessmen and businesswomen, and finally a round of Angel funding for the companies who are ready for it.
