TikTok Live MENA and A Ventures Launch Interactive Startup Show *A 7elmak?*

A Ventures has teamed up with TikTok Live MENA to roll out a new live show called *A 7elmak?*, which aims to help young dreamers across the region turn their bright ideas into proper startups. The concept blends live entertainment with entrepreneurship, giving participants a chance to pitch their projects straight from their phones—no fancy stage or studio needed. It’s a modern twist on the old investment show format, cutting through the usual faff and bringing it all to where youth already spend their time: online.

Young Productions comes onboard as the media partner, handling the creative production side to give the show that energetic, youth-driven flair. The partnership was sealed at a formal signing attended by big names from both sides—Ayman Abbas, A Ventures’ chairman, along with Sherif Ramadan and Mahmoud Magdi, joined TikTok MENA’s Ahmed Nasser for what seems like a well-timed collaboration.

Each episode spotlights live conversations between Abbas and Ramadan, who share practical insights and—judging by early chatter—some candid reflections on what really makes a business idea click. After that, viewers watch as young participants drop into the stream live, pitching their startups and chatting on the spot with judges and the audience. You can literally watch a lightbulb moment unfold in real time, which, I reckon, is half the fun.

What makes *A 7elmak?* stand out is its genuine accessibility. Aspiring founders don’t need deep pockets or a foot in the door; they just need a phone, an idea, and a bit of courage to go live. Viewers, for their part, can comment, ask questions, and even nudge the discussion—transforming what would usually be a one-way broadcast into something truly interactive. On the flip side, that level of openness means some wild ideas might sneak in, but perhaps that’s part of the charm.

Scheduled to run through November and December this year on TikTok Live, the show promises more than a watch-and-forget experience. It’s designed as a stepping stone, helping early-stage founders grow through expert feedback, exposure, and incubation opportunities. Abbas summed it up neatly, saying it’s about giving young people that crucial first push—the confidence, tools, and network to bring their vision to life. And believe it or not, he’s spot on: there’s no shortage of talent in the MENA region, just a need for platforms that meet young innovators where they’re already active.

It reminds me a little of the insight Arageek has lived by—empowering startups to turn potential into progress. The spirit of *A 7elmak?* sits right in that sweet spot. It’s raw, direct, and bursting with optimism. Sure, not every idea will soar, but even if a few take flight, that’s a win for the whole ecosystem. If you ask me, that’s somthing to be chuffed about.
