Mina Kerols
Head of Venture Growth and Business Development at Nmo Hub
About the mentor
I am a Venture Growth and Business Development leader with 12+ years of experience supporting startups, entrepreneurs, incubators, accelerators, and innovation ecosystems across the MENA region. Throughout my career, I have mentored more than 100 startups, trained over 4,000 entrepreneurs and professionals, and collaborated with leading universities, accelerators, government entities, and international organizations.
My expertise spans business strategy, venture growth, business development, go-to-market strategy, partnerships, fundraising readiness, startup validation, business modeling, customer discovery, market expansion, and organizational growth.
I enjoy working with founders from the idea stage through scaling, helping them validate opportunities, build sustainable business models, refine their value proposition, develop investor-ready strategies, and establish meaningful strategic partnerships. My mentoring approach combines practical business execution with strategic thinking, focusing on measurable outcomes rather than theoretical advice.
I am particularly passionate about technology startups, AI, sustainability, digital transformation, social impact ventures, and innovation-driven businesses. Whether founders are preparing for investment, entering new markets, or accelerating growth, I strive to provide actionable guidance, honest feedback, and long-term value that helps them build resilient and scalable companies.
