The first retreat I attended with JRNY/ElRehla was the Employment ecosystem retreat in 2018. Back then, Sprints was still just an idea. My interactions with different people in the retreat led to forming multiple collaborations and developing different ideas until I founded Sprints in 2019.

Great experience. It helped me disconnect from day-to-day work routine and connect with many founders on a deeper level and exchange valuable learnings. It is a positive experience that I strongly recommend.

A perfect and valuable approach to kick off the accelerator program! It was also a good chance to reflect on personal and professional levels.

JRNY/ElRehla succeeded in being the point of transformation for different mindsets, coming from different places, with different experiences in order to let these people benefit and help each other in their work.

JRNY/ElRehla creates a strong and resourceful community and network. It became an important business trip in iCareer’s annual plan. My company secured funds for one of its biggest projects through the connections I made in JRNY/ElRehla . During the retreats you don’t only get to know the people in the retreat, you become part of a bigger network that can lead you to many new opportunities.

We had an amazing, productive and fun time during our annual retreat! It’s definitely a step up for our internal communication and was very much engaging to everyone and left a tremendous positive vibe within each one of us. We love you guys.

Thank you all for this experience - that can only be described as incredible, transformational and rewarding.

JRNY/ElRehla was the first push to launch my brand. In 2016, I was chosen as one of the 15 best Middle East fashion designers participating in Project Runway TV show. My brands name started to be one of the most well known, ethnic wear brands in Egypt.

This whole experience was extremely beneficial, especially during the phase we were in. We were only focusing on our business startups but not able to pay as much attention to ourselves, which I believe is an essential balance for our wellbeing. It was also a great chance to get to know the other teams better. It strengthened the bond between us.

It was interesting to get to know both the cycle teams and themanagement team. we bonded on several levels and we had fun.

We have something called founder’s syndrome, where it is very difficult for us to separate ourselves from our business. Taking the decision to go to the beach for 4 days, the first thing that comes to your mind is stress about your work. But JRNY/ElRehla is successful at getting us out of this situation and giving us the possibility to disconnect.
