We're not consultants who advise from a distance. We're builders and founders who work alongside you.
Deep technical mastery meets proven business acumen. Youssef architects and builds your systems. Amine shapes your strategy and opens the right doors. Together, they cover every angle of your growth.
We've raised capital, closed enterprise deals, navigated failed pivots, and rebuilt — we know the startup struggle from the inside. Our advice isn't textbook theory; it's battle-tested experience you can act on immediately.
From idea validation to investor meetings, from MVP development to market launch — we support the full journey. No handoffs, no gaps. One team that understands your whole picture.
Everything you need to know about our startup mentoring program
Our mentoring is ideal for early-stage founders (pre-seed to Series A) who have a validated idea or early traction and need strategic guidance to scale. We work with tech startups, B2B SaaS founders, and impact-driven entrepreneurs — especially those operating in or targeting the MENA region.
We're founders, not just advisors. Amine has built and scaled startups, raised capital, and closed B2B deals — the same challenges you're facing. Plus, having Youssef's technical expertise means we can also review and guide your actual product and tech decisions, not just the business strategy.
It's a 45-minute structured call where we assess your startup's current stage, biggest blockers, and potential. We'll evaluate your idea, market, team, and traction — then give you a clear, honest recommendation on the best path forward. No sales pitch, just actionable insight. You'll leave with a resource pack of templates and frameworks relevant to your stage.
Yes — but we're honest about timing. Most investors require proof of concept or early traction. If you're pre-product, we'll help you prioritize getting there first (validation, MVP, first customers), then build your fundraising story from a position of strength. We'd rather set you up for a successful raise than rush you to investor meetings too early.
Absolutely. We work fluently in English, French, and Arabic. All mentoring sessions, documents, and written support can be delivered in your preferred language — or mixed, depending on the audience (e.g., French pitch deck for European investors, Arabic for regional partners).
Yes — this is one of our unique advantages. If your startup needs AI, data pipelines, an ERP system, a mobile app, or cloud infrastructure built, Youssef and our technical team can handle it end-to-end. Strategy and execution, all from one team. Mentoring clients on the Accelerate and Scale plans get preferred rates on technical services.
Real outcomes from real partnerships across Tunisia and beyond
"Borealis didn't just build what we asked for — they understood our business and delivered a system that actually solved the problem. The entire Odoo deployment was on time and exactly on budget."
"We went from spending 10 hours a week on manual reporting to having a live Power BI dashboard that updates itself. The ROI was visible in the first month."
"What stood out was their communication — no black box, no surprises. They kept us in the loop at every step and explained technical decisions in a way our whole team could understand."
A growing e-commerce company was manually processing 500+ orders per day with no real-time visibility into inventory or fulfilment status.
Custom Odoo ERP with automated inventory tracking, order workflows, and a live Power BI dashboard — deployed in 3 weeks.
