Dubai-based venture fund Turn8 recently concluded the Accelerator Program that enhances global growth for tech startups. ZingoHub, the global crowdfunding marketplace, has been selected out of 800 startups for the Round 7 Accelerator Program.

“We look forward to boosting innovation in the Middle East through rewards-based crowdfunding,” remarks Haider Aly-Reza, co-founder of ZingoHub. The one-year-old startup is a first-of-its-kind crowdfunding marketplace that aims to foster a global innovation culture.

ZingoHub has a singular mission: to empower creators and innovators. The platform encourages game-changing ideas to raise funds through crowdfunding. In order to make commerce more innovative, ZingoHub  provides a platform beyond discounts, offers and instead more for stories, creators, and innovators. Crowdfunding empowers the next generation of creators and innovators and democratizes commerce as a whole. It helps business ventures raise funds, go global, strengthen brand image and fuel marketing.

Turn8 will inject investment, develop talent and provide mentorship and business development support for ZingoHub. In turn, the team is looking at innovative ways to add more features. This will supplement the growth of our commerce platform in a seamless fashion and  rejuvenate the global innovation commerce platform.

Startup crowdfunding not only raises funds but also provides invaluable insight into the target audience. When you launch your idea at ZingoHub, your brand receives the response rate which aids the entrepreneur in assessing the performance of the product and service, in turn, creating a better one.

The UAE has been a key target for entrepreneurs, with Dubai being particularly popular as the financial hub.
