Lebanese founders have built exceptional companies across the globe — largely without organized Lebanese institutional capital behind them. Today, that changes.

If you're a founder, or if you know a founder living in Lebanon, then you don't want to miss this. Finally, LAIN is here. The Lebanese Angel Investor Network is up and running and has its sight on tech entrepreneurs who already have what it takes to build the next unicorn. Don't take it from us. Abdallah Yafi and Ghaith YAFI, founders of BY Venture Partners, are the ones saying it. And they have some noteworthy experience in that department.

LAIN, the Lebanese Angel Investor Network, has officially launched. For years, Lebanese founders have been building with limited access to early-stage capital. The challenge has never been a lack of capital, but the absence of a trusted, transparent, and professionally managed platform to channel it. LAIN was created to fill that gap: the first curated angel investment vehicle for the Lebanese market, connecting diaspora investors and high-net-worth individuals around the world with the next generation of Lebanese founders and companies building for Lebanon’s future. After years of fragmentation and declining early-stage funding, LAIN is launching to change that. Launching with $5M ready to deploy and a vision to mobilize $100M, LAIN brings together capital, governance, and a global network to unlock Lebanese diaspora investment at scale - giving investors a way to back innovation while giving back to the community and the country.

On April 21, we launched the NUMU Dashboard in the presence of H.E. Dr. Kamal Shehadi Shehadi, the MITAI team, and our partners at Htech . NUMU is Lebanon’s national platform for monitoring and insights, led by MITAI. As part of this effort, Code for Lebanon was launched in partnership with HTech to connect Lebanese university students and alumni with real challenges inside ministries. The first Code for Lebanon hackathon was hosted at USJ, bringing together more than 100 students to work on a live public sector challenge. The NUMU Dashboard was created by the winning USJ team, Dia Hajjar , Jose Azzi , Leticia Mallat , Mira Dalati , and Theresa Kozah . After the hackathon, the team continued working on the platform over several challenging months, transforming their idea into a practical tool for government use. From a weekend hackathon at USJ to a working dashboard inside government, this is the model we are advancing. #NUMU #MITAI #CodeForLebanon #HTech #USJ
