In 2018, Endeavor Lebanon company Diwanee
merged with Endeavor Saudi company Uturn.
When Endeavor Catalyst invested in Endeavor
Saudi company Uturn in 2014, the online
entertainment and digital production company
was introduced to Endeavor Lebanon company
Diwanee, a Middle Eastern digital media company,
through the Endeavor network.
The merger gave birth to a new entity, Uturn-
Diwanee, that aims to become the leader in digital
media within the Gulf. The entity will employ 310
people across four offices in Jeddah, Riyadh, Dubai
and Beirut, and will bring together 65 million users
through all its social networks. The total number
of unique visitors across the Uturn-Diwanee's
proprietary platforms will reach 15 million.
The company has already raised $20 million of
investment.

At a local and regional level
"It's like an Endeavor love
story… Uturn was exactly
what Diwanee was not, and
vice versa."
