Online Residency
Four weeks to take your business to the next level
Starting January 2027
What’s Included
-
Weekly Live Sessions
One 90-minute live session every week for four weeks, live on Zoom. Every session is recorded so you can catch up in your own time.
-
Guest Facilitators
Learn directly from regional founders, operators and creators, with guest facilitators joining select weeks across marketing, content and financial strategy.
-
Curated Cohort
A small, intentionally limited group of creator founders and creative entrepreneurs who share similar goals, values and ambition, building alongside you.
-
Business & Revenue Frameworks
Hands-on sessions covering clarity, pitching, pricing and revenue growth. Leave with a 90-day plan and tools you will actually use.
-
WhatsApp Community
A private WhatsApp group for questions, support and accountability between sessions, and a community that stays with you after the residency ends.
-
Guided Meditations
Four guided meditations and wellness tools woven through the programme, from goal-setting and money mindset to follow-through.
The Programme
WEEK 1: CLARITY
Find your foundation and why, shift the mindsets holding you back, set your north star, and draft your elevator pitch.
WEEK 2: PITCH PLAN
Align your mission, vision and pitch with purpose, and identify the partners and investors you want to reach.
WEEK 3: REVENUE
Audit your revenue streams, focus on what your customers actually value, and build pricing and packages that reflect it. Walk away with three revenue streams and a clear pricing structure.
WEEK 4: FINAL PITCH
Finalize and share your one-minute pitch, ready to use with investors, brand and talent partners, and in your customer communications.
Testimonials From Our Past IRL Retreats
“More than a community, Shams Club is a family of visionaries who inspire, support, and mentor one another, creating an environment where every individual can explore and nurture their creative potential.”
- Mozef S
“Our time in Greece gave me exactly what I, as a first-time founder, was looking for: connection with like-minded individuals, being able to ask the hard questions to people who’ve been and are in my shoes, and fresh energy to take back into work with me. Taking the step to go on a creative retreat was something I was unsure about, but Shams Club made it so worthwhile. Eternally grateful for this magic moment!”
- Lara S
“Shams Club is a curated experience for entrepreneurs seeking community and guidance. The genuine care and support from all the Shams founders, beyond the retreat, have been incredible. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best in the game!!!”

How It Works
The residency runs for four weeks, live on Zoom, with one 90-minute session each week.

Spots are intentionally limited so every resident gets the greatest possible impact.
Who is This For?

The aspiring founder preparing for a launch, a partnership or an investor conversation.
The independent expert or consultant building their business and personal brand.
MENA and diaspora leaders ready to start a new chapter with a supportive cohort behind them.
Spots are limited so that every resident receives the greatest possible impact. The investment is $500 per resident, paid in full and non-refundable.
