Established in 2013, FastForward is the first accelerator in Palestine and is highly selective in accepting teams with high potential. The application process includes filling out a form, scheduling an interview, and joining the SWNext program. The top five startups will be enrolled in the Fast Forward acceleration program, while others will still benefit from the mentorship-driven program. FastForward aims to create an entrepreneurial community in Palestine and help talented entrepreneurs validate their businesses and reach Series-A funding or acquisition faster.
