Amal Launch Cohort · Applications open

We turn bold ideas into Afghan startups.

A 12-week cohort with mentors, a team and a jury, from first idea to Launch Day.

How a cohort works

Five steps from idea to Launch Day

One clear path, one step at a time. Each phase has its own people, tools and finish line.

Tell us about you and your idea in a short online form. Founders and individuals both apply; no business plan needed.

We match people into balanced teams of builders, designers and sellers, then pair each team with a mentor.
- Matched teams
- A mentor per team
- Confirm in one tap
Ship something every week. Log progress, meet your mentor and watch the product grow from a sketch to real users.
- Weekly logs
- Mentor check-ins
- 12 weeks
Practise your story with coaches, then pitch to a jury of investors and operators who score every team fairly.
- Talk coaching
- Clear criteria
- Written feedback
Launch Day: show what you built, meet the community and leave with a network, rewards and a company that is ready to grow.
