Entrepreneurship & Design Thinking Program (2nd Place Global Finish)

Selected as one of 10 students out of 177 applicants (~5.6% acceptance rate), I joined the School of Future Entrepreneurs Academy, an international cohort from the UK, USA, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and beyond. The program focused on applying analytical frameworks to real-world problems—market analysis, financial modeling, and Design Thinking.

​

Within this environment, I developed a mental health technology venture focused on delivering personalized behavioral interventions. The experience taught me how to move from identifying a problem to designing a scalable solution: conducting needs assessments, testing assumptions with real users, and iterating based on evidence.

​

The project required:

• Developing a full implementation plan, including market analysis, budgeting, and projections

• Building and testing a minimum viable product

• Synthesizing research into practical application

• Pitching to an expert panel in a competitive "Demo Day"

The venture placed 2nd globally out of all participants.​​
