Why become an angel

LAIN exists for people who believe in Lebanese talent and want a real part in backing the next generation of founders. Beyond the potential for returns, membership offers two things that are hard to get any other way.

01 ·Impact

Your capital, your name behind it

Back exceptional founders with ties to Lebanon, at home and acrossthe diaspora, and help rebuild the early-stage capital base the ecosystem has been missing.

02·Access

Opportunities you rarely reach alone

Curated entry to high-quality venture deals — sourced, diligenced and structured by an institutional team, at terms only available before the round closes.

What sets LAIN apart

You don’t just invest — you shape.

Unlike a passive fund, LAIN angels have an active role, with a genuine voice in which founders get backed. You get diversified exposure across a portfolio rather than a single bet, the institutional support of BY Venture Partners behind every deal, and a seat in a community shaping the next chapter of Lebanese entrepreneurship.

What you bring — beyond capital

Your network becomes part of
what every founder gets

The strongest angels give founders more than money.

Open doors

Warm introductions where they matter. Customers, hires, follow-on investors and partners, founders can’t reach alone.

Mentor

Founder-to-founder guidance: office hours, board-level advice, and hard-won lessons from people who’ve built.

Amplify

Distribution, hiring pipelines and diaspora- to-home reach that accelerate every company the network backs.
