Startup Readiness Accelerator
Test Your Idea. Your Mindset. Your Moment.

1- Are You Really Ready for Entrepreneurship?
Whether you are an existing or an aspiring entrepreneur, you know that starting a business isn't just about building – it's about knowing if now is the right time, and if you are truly ready. Every step forward demands caution, creativity, and courage.
That’s why we’ve built something different → a focused, reality-first checkpoint to help you answer one honest question:
👤For existing entrepreneurs: “Am I leading the business in the right direction?”
💡For aspiring entrepreneurs: “Is now the right time to take the leap?”

This isn't a motivational seminar. It's a practical readiness test for your idea, your mindset, and your timing. By the end, you'll know whether to start, scale, or wait, and exactly what to do next.

2- CSR Commitment: Why We're Doing This
This initiative is offered as part of Friction Business Advisory's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), created in response to the current economic situation in Lebanon. We’ve seen dozens of Lebanese entrepreneurs wasting critical savings on untested ideas; this program prevents that.
Our goal is to help those who want to start a business as well as those struggling with their early-stage ventures. Rather than hype, we provide clarity, tools, and decision-support so people invest their time and resources wisely. This reflects our commitment to supporting Lebanese entrepreneurs and small business owners, empowering them with clarity, confidence, and practical tools for resilience.

3- Why We Created This
Too many great ideas stall not because the founder lacks potential, but because they're unsure of their next move or afraid to act at the wrong time. Time and resources are too valuable to waste on guesswork.
That's why we designed this hands-on, stripped-down training that replaces hype with clarity.

To better fit your schedule, we are offering two session times: morning and evening.

📅Session 1: Wednesday 10 September 2025 | 5:30 PM – 9:00 PM
📅Session 2: Thursday 11 September 2025 | 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
📍Venue: Living Room, Gemmayze - Beirut

Facilitators:
Kamal G. Merheb – Strategic Business Advisor
Pamela Mikhael – Digital Strategist & Brand Coach

We’ve witnessed many passionate Lebanese entrepreneurs, some who started with great ideas but are now struggling without clear direction, and others with promising ideas who remain unsure about when or how to take the first step.

This uncertainty is costly in time, energy, and savings. We’ve seen it happen again and again, and it inspired us to act.

As part of our CSR commitment, we created the Startup Readiness Accelerator: a focused program offered at a nominal fee. Not to profit, but to provide clarity, tools, and confidence so entrepreneurs can take the right step at the right time.
