Parachate16 and YOUMNA: Building Operational Infrastructure That Scales

Strategic partnership announced at Biban25 brings system-backed executive support to high-growth founders across the region

During Biban25, Parachute16 and YOUMNA, founded by Dana Shaheen, signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding that opens a new chapter in how founders across the region unlock productivity - with right hand support built to enhance boost efficiency, protect focus, and enable scalability.

Through this partnership, startups supported by Parachute16 will gain priority access to YOUMNA's right-hand support system. This model embeds a precision-matched Executive Partner into the founder's day-to-day operations - helping them optimize productivity, streamline workflows, and operate efficiently from Day One.

YOUMNA's model goes beyond task delegation. Each Executive Partner is trained to think ahead, anticipate needs, and move before the founder needs to ask - supported by weekly coaching, operational rituals, and a backend system that enhances efficiency and unlocks value. The system also guides founders on how to delegate effectively, removing the training burden while building trust.

For Parachute16, this collaboration reinforces our belief that founders need more than access to markets and investors, they need a right hand, leadership habits, and operational systems that make long-term growth possible.

With Parachute16’s presence across Saudi Arabia, UAE, QATAR, UK, Belgium, and Jordan YOUMNA’s ability to embed consistent leadership support within each startup, founders will have a reliable foundation behind them as they grow.

What This Partnership Enables:

Embedded Leadership Capacity : Executive Partners who don't just manage tasks - they protect founder focus and enable strategic decision-making.

Operational Clarity from Day One : Structure, workflows, and communication systems that reduce friction and decision fatigue.

Performance That Doesn't Require Training : Each YOUMNA is pre-trained, onboarded, and backed by a system designed to deliver from the first week.

Scalable Support Across Teams : As startups grow, YOUMNA scales with them - providing consistent, proactive support without founder oversight.

Built-In Continuity : Backup systems, peer support, and internal coaching ensure performance stays sharp, even during transitions or growth inflection points.

This collaboration marks an important step for both organizations, and a continuation of Parachute16’s commitment to supporting founders with the tools, networks, and internal systems they need to build companies that last.
