The Creators’ Headquarters, in collaboration with 500 Global, has announced the opening of applications for the second edition of the “Creators Ventures Accelerator” program. The initiative is part of the fourth edition of the Billion Followers Summit, taking place in Dubai from January 9 to 11, 2026, under the theme “Meaningful Content.”
The program allocates up to AED 50 million in funding under the “Invest with Creators” initiative, designed to support individuals and companies in the content creation industry to launch and scale globally viable projects.
Running over a period of 10 weeks, the program leverages 500 Global’s expertise in business building and acceleration alongside the Creators HQ’s network and knowledge in the creator economy. A total of 20 participants—content creators and companies—will advance through several selection phases, culminating in one final winner who will secure investment opportunities to further develop their project.
Selection criteria include: idea feasibility, innovation, social and economic impact, quality of marketing pitch, scalability and growth potential, and financial and implementation plans.
Applications will remain open until October 3, 2025, via the program’s official website: creatorshq.com/creators-ventures.
