WELCOME NOTE Endeavor Lebanon was launched in 2011, with the singular purpose of supporting High-Impact Entrepreneurs: those who create jobs, build value and inspire others to do so as leading role models. With the active backing of our Board of Directors, we have stepped up to the challenge of contributing to Lebanon's economic transformation. Today, Endeavor Lebanon boasts a portfolio of 17 entrepreneurs who employ over 1,000 people. Moreover, our network of mentors tops 150 business leaders who have generously donated over 700 hours. But Endeavor recognizes that its mission in Lebanon goes beyond promoting economic prosperity. By partnering with carefully selected entrepreneurs with regional, even global, growth potential, we help curb the crippling brain drain that plagues our nation, while showcasing Lebanon as a place of talent and opportunities. The entrepreneurs whom we support across a number of sectors have over the past year grown their businesses by over 30% and are luring successful Lebanese back to the country. The acquisition of Diwanee by a global digital media company and the global traction we see in the other outfits are very strong signs that the prospects for Lebanese entrepreneurship are very promising and that Endeavor's strategy is the right one.
