| Free tier | A ten-week in-person incubation in Riyadh for 15 startups with 'No equity taken', 200 consulting hours, 20 or more mentors, 10 or more training modules, incubation space and a demo day, with applications closing 5 November 2026. The related GAIA track carries 'financial grants totaling 150,000 SAR provided by the National Technology Development Program', and the three-day hackathon that feeds the accelerator states 'the hackathon is open to individuals and teams with no commercial registration required'. unit none; metered on wall-clock; accelerator |

| Limits | - write-gated (binding) The accelerator asks only for 'AI-native startups', 'A working business model with early traction or sales' and 'A founding team able to commit to the full ten weeks', but selection is competitive at 15 places and delivery is in person in Riyadh, so the constraint is presence and traction rather than a document. source

| Composes with | The hackathon is the only entry point that asks for neither a company nor a fee: it feeds a qualified path into the accelerator, and the accelerator feeds the SAR 150,000 GAIA grant, so the three form a ladder an individual can start on tonight. It breaks at the ten-week in-person residency, which needs a Riyadh presence for the full programme. |

| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |

| Notes | The SAR 150,000 attaches to GAIA, and GAIA is the part that is not open: a third-party programme tracker records it as dormant with 'no current intake or cohort dates' as of September 2026, which matches SDAIA's own accelerator page naming no GAIA cycle. So the reachable step is the accelerator with no published cash, and the funded step has no published window. |
