Entrepreneur in Residence | Co-Founder (f/m/x) @Beam (Remote, Middle East)
Launch Your Aviation Startup in the Middle East.
Are you an ambitious entrepreneur ready to build the next game-changing aviation startup?
Beam is searching for exceptional founders to join our Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) program—a fast-track opportunity to validate, launch, and scale a high-potential aviation venture in the Middle East.
Over 3-6 months, you will work closely with Beam and our strategic partners in the airport and parcel logistics industries, leveraging our expertise and access to an unparalleled network.
We are not just an accelerator—we are your chance to prove that you can build a viable, investment-ready business with real industry advantages.
We will want to speak to anyone who meets these criteria:
You are committed to launching a startup.
You are confident in your proven ability to understand complex issues, with high curiosity and initiative to discover more of what you don't know.
You stand apart from your peers in your outlook. Ideally, you're an entrepreneur at heart and can back it up with a track record of successful endeavors.
You have a personable communication style and find ways to relate to others. You can communicate complex information in simple and concise ways and make it easily digestible. You think clearly and with confidence without needing to dominate.
You've been an active part of a startup ecosystem in the past and have a valuable network in the technology and, ideally, logistics sectors.
You have gained professional experience in technology and plant manufacturing, of which at least two years were in a startup. You have gained some scars and learned some lessons along the way.
You can identify a clear company vision and market opportunity and be prepared to defend it with data rigorously.
You have a talent for finding solutions and hacks to move faster. You are not phased when the way is unclear; you thrive in ambiguity and have a knack for uncovering unexpected possibilities.
You keep going. You do your homework. You're prepared to go the extra mile and find the opportunity your competitors will miss.
You have an internal compass of your ethics and values that you draw on when making decisions, which drives your working style.
You are business fluent in English.
You are based (ideally) in Doha or Dubai.
Why should you choose Beam?
You choose a pre-validated aviation problem from Beam's initial research to work on; this gives you an advantage starting point.
Your startup success can be accelerated with an (unfair) advantage to your business model from the BEUMER Group. Your startup concept must have relevant connectivity to BEUMER Group's advantage to be relevant to Beam's program.
You will be advised and coached on growing your business idea - and have access to our network of experts to make you go faster. Our environment provides the resources and acceleration factors to get your idea moving at speed and grow into your early startup.
Beam will support you in searching - and finding - suitable co-validators/co-founders in our program. We want to encourage you to tap into your network and make suggestions too.
Meet other EiRs and founders as a member of Beam's universe, and use our beautiful offices in Berlin.
You will receive a monthly stipend of 2,500 € (gross)--with the opportunity to increase based on successful completion of performance metrics--to help you concentrate on your validation fully.
Why should you not choose Beam?
Beam won't suit active students, as the time commitment is more than a full-time (intense) job - and needs full attention. We'd love to hear from you once you've finished your studies and have the work experience described above.
This isn’t just about validation—it’s about execution. Over 80% of EiRs do not complete the program because they cannot prove market viability or their entrepreneurial capabilities.
