Orange Corners and MicroMentor have teamed up in Sudan, the Palestinian Territories and Egypt for a six-month pilot, proving the power of virtual mentoring for entrepreneurs.
Through this collaboration, 71 Orange Corners entrepreneurs were matched with MicroMentor’s global pool of volunteer business mentors. Together, they tackled challenges in business development, marketing, e-commerce, accounting, financial planning and more – helping founders refine their strategies and grow their ventures.
One standout mentor is strategic business consultant Tamer Mady, who guided multiple Orange Corners entrepreneurs. With Fatma (For Your Health), Tamer co-developed a detailed financial model and growth strategy. With Esraa (Se3a – Powered by Wefaq), he refined sales and marketing approaches, optimised customer funnels and helped accelerate revenue growth.
Reflecting on his experience, Tamer shared: “Mentoring on MicroMentor keeps me engaged with fresh perspectives while helping entrepreneurs avoid the mistakes I’ve made. It’s about unlocking growth potential on both sides.”
This pilot shows how connections with great mentors can fuel entrepreneurial journeys. And the good news? All Orange Corners alumni can join MicroMentor for free! To sign up and tap into a global network of mentors and entrepreneurs: MicroMentor.org
