Scale Up Program – Cohort V
At Endeavor Lebanon, we know that scaling a company takes more than vision. It takes the proper support, trusted guidance, and a strong network.
The Scale Up Program is a 14-week program explicitly designed for companies founded by Lebanese entrepreneurs, whether based in Lebanon or abroad, at a pivotal stage in their growth journey. It provides high-potential founders with tailored mentorship, strategic support, and access to Endeavor’s unparalleled global network.
Now in its fifth edition, the program welcomed ten founders leading nine high-potential companies working across legal tech, fintech, cybersecurity, edtech, adtech, and HR tech. Each founder brings a unique solution to the table, but they share the same drive: to scale with purpose, resilience, and global ambition.
