In a groundbreaking step to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit among the region’s youth, A Ventures, in strategic partnership with TikTok Live MENA, has announced the launch of A 7elmak?, a new interactive live show on TikTok Live that aims to turn dreams into startups.

As part of this collaboration, Young Productions joins as the official Media Partner, supporting the program’s creative production and digital storytelling to ensure a vibrant, youth-orientated visual identity.

The strategic partnership was officially signed in a protocol ceremony attended by Ayman Abbas, Chairman of A Ventures; Sherif Ramadan, CEO of A Ventures; and Mahmoud Magdi, Marketing Manager of A Ventures Group; alongside Ahmed Nasser, Regional Partnerships Manager at TikTok Live MENA.

Where Dreams Meet Opportunity—LIVE

Each episode of A 7elmak? follows a fast-paced and interactive format designed for a social-first audience. It opens with a live conversation featuring Ayman Abbas, joined by co-judge Sherif Ramadan, offering insights on entrepreneurship, mindset, and what makes a great startup idea.

The conversation is followed by a series of live pitches from young dreamers joining directly from their devices — engaging directly with the judges and the audience in real time.

The format brings the essence of traditional investment shows into a lighter, digital, and youth-focused experience — transforming social media engagement into a real opportunity for young founders to kickstart their business journey.

More Than a Show—A Launchpad for Young Entrepreneurs

A 7elmak? is more than a digital competition; it’s a platform that gives young dreamers the chance to take their first real step into entrepreneurship. Through expert feedback, exposure, and incubation, the show empowers them to turn creative ideas into sustainable business ventures.

“Across the MENA region, we’re seeing a generation that’s digitally fluent, innovative, and eager to build,” said Ayman Abbas, Chairman of A Ventures. “We created A 7elmak? because we recognise the rising power of entrepreneurship in the region and deeply believe in the youth’s role in shaping the future. This initiative is about giving them that first push — the tools, the confidence, and the ecosystem to bring their ideas to life.”

By merging entertainment with empowerment, the show taps into the region’s growing entrepreneurial energy, offering a new pathway for aspiring founders to access funding, mentorship, and visibility.

Accessible, Interactive, and Impact-Driven

Contestants will join remotely through TikTok Live, presenting their ideas directly to the judges and audience. Viewers will be able to participate, comment, and even influence the conversation — making it a fully interactive experience that connects real people with real opportunities.

Timeline

The programme will take place during November and December 2025, streamed exclusively on TikTok Live, as part of A Ventures’ strategic partnership with TikTok Live MENA and with Young Productions as the official media partner.

Empowering the Next Generation of Builders

Through A 7elmak?, A Ventures and TikTok Live MENA are pioneering a new model of digital incubation — blending content creation, community engagement, and entrepreneurship support into one regional platform. The initiative aligns with A Ventures’ broader mission to empower young innovators across the MENA region with access to capital, mentorship, and networks that accelerate sustainable growth.
