KIMA LBE
Leadership · Belonging · Entrepreneurship

Innovation, built for scale.

A venture-creation company building the leaders who grow companies, the ecosystems that make excellence possible, and the worldwide sales, marketing and operations infrastructure that carries them into global markets. Not seed. Scale.

Mission & Vision

Three letters. Not a slogan — a method.

Leadership and entrepreneurship are the work. Belonging is what they produce. Every part of KIMA LBE traces back to one of these three.

L

Leadership

is how you move, and how you move others. The capability to carry a room without authority — and to carry a company into a market it has never sold in.

B

Belonging

is the choice to create the space where we make a difference. We don’t search for belonging. We build it — as a business, as a network, as a room that stays open after the program ends.

E

Entrepreneurship

is the lens that turns challenges into opportunities for growth. It is not a job title. It is the method we teach, and the method we use.

Where we play

Not seed.
Scale.

Most of the innovation world crowds around the beginning. We work where the hard part actually is: taking something that already works and making it work everywhere.

That means leaders who can grow a company rather than run a function, ecosystems strong enough to produce excellence rather than enthusiasm, and real infrastructure — sales, marketing, operations, market access — already standing in the markets our companies are entering.

01

Leaders who scale companies

Senior professionals become leaders who can lead change, influence without authority, and carry growth decisions — not just deliver a function well.

02

Ecosystems that create excellence

Startup schools, accelerators and a venture factory, built where the talent already is, so capability turns into companies instead of stalling.

03

Infrastructure that already exists

Plug into open market corridors and shared go-to-market, delivery and hiring capability, so a small team can carry an international contract.

The KIMA umbrella

From leadership to scale, one road.

Two houses run it, but it is one road — and the leader who starts it is the same person who finishes it. Choose a stage.

Where it begins

A senior professional with more than their title.

Eight years or more in tech or industry. Already carrying weight beyond the job description. Every KIMA journey starts with a person, not a program — which is why every fellow is interviewed before they are admitted.

Three pillars

Where each part of the road lives.

Method

Entrepreneurship as a method.

Entrepreneurship is the lens that turns challenges into opportunities. KIMA teaches you how to leverage them — and then builds the three things that lens produces.

01

New career leaders

People who move from managing a function to leading change — and who keep growing after the program ends.

02

New ventures

Companies started, staffed and taken through their first cycles on the floor of the KIMA Venture Factory.

03

New workspaces

Whole places where building becomes normal — including the first startup school in the Bedouin community, in Rahat.

Belonging, made structural

The KIMA Collective.

A network of senior leaders who mentor, hire, advise and build with one another. The programs end. The room doesn’t.

50 Senior tech leaders in the Collective by the end of 2026 — the group our leaders keep hiring, advising and building with.

It’s a life-changing program. Motivation to keep going, learning from the masters. The success at the end of the way is more clear than ever.

Find your way in

One ecosystem. Three ways to enter it.

Companies growing their people

Create internal change leaders. In an AI-centric age that capability is a need, not a perk — change leaders decide whether the shift succeeds. Tailor-made programs, in-house or as offsites.

Companies ready to scale globally

Ripe and ready, and out of room at home. KIMA Scale opens market corridors, shares go-to-market and delivery infrastructure, and runs the Scalerator cohorts.
