In their November 2012 list of the "Top 20 Lebanese Entrepreneurs," Executive Magazine included nine Endeavor Lebanon Entrepreneurs. Though Arabic speakers make up more than 5% of the world's population, only 3% of total online content is in Arabic. To bridge this gap, Endeavor Entrepreneurs and husband & wife team Hervé Cuviliez & Delphine Edde founded Diwanee, a digital media company publishing high-quality content in Arabic for women. Diwanee's specialized web portals also provide Arab women a platform to discuss lifestyle topics such as motherhood, fashion, and health. In just three years, Diwanee has become the market leader in women's lifestyle web content in the Arabic language, attracting 4.8 million unique visitors a month in an environment where advertisers—such as L'Oréal and Chanel—are eager to target customer segments with high spending power. Most recently, Diwanee successfully raised $3.25m from a strategic investor in Lebanon. The company used the investment to launch Mooda.com, a proprietary e-commerce platform giving regional fashion designers the opportunity to reach customers worldwide. Prior to founding Diwanee, Hervé sold his first company to Omnicom. Delphine, meanwhile, previously served as Media Director at Condé Nast France.
