The builders page
Not a startup list. Products you can open, download or buy today, each card carrying the evidence for its Lebanon connection so you can check it in one click. Nine made the page. Twenty five were opened and left off.
01 · The grid
Every one of these was opened on 28 August 2026 and the product was confirmed to exist and be reachable. The proof line on each card names exactly where the Lebanon connection comes from, including when it comes from somebody other than the company itself.
AI training built in three levels, Foundations, Practitioner and Mastery, plus corporate programmes and consulting across the region. The closest thing Lebanon has to a dedicated AI school with a public curriculum.
Their contact page lists a Beirut Digital District office at BDD 1243_B1, Bachoura. The about page names Christophe Zoghbi and Larissa Abi Nakhle as co-founders.
zaka.ai →A field team platform for consumer goods brands. Shelf photos go in, structured data comes out through image recognition, and an AI assistant answers questions against the result. Real computer vision shipped into a boring industry, which is the hard kind.
Their contact page lists an office at BDD 1082, Bechara el Khoury, Beirut. No founders are named on the site, so we name none.
shelvz.com →The first legal music streaming platform in the region, in the company's own words, carrying Arabic and international music and podcasts on web, mobile and desktop. The one Lebanese consumer product most of the region has actually used.
Their own about page: co-founded by Elie Habib and Eddy Maroun, launched November 2012 in Beirut. The same page records the move of headquarters to Abu Dhabi in 2021, so this is Lebanese founded rather than Lebanon based.
anghami.com →Send and receive money, pay bills, buy vouchers and run a digital Visa card from one app, with a physical agent network behind it. Built for a country where the banking system stopped working, which is the whole point of it.
Their own site states more than a thousand locations in Lebanon and prints the licence: Banque du Liban, Resolution No. 19/21/22, dated 10 August 2022. A central bank licence is public record you can check.
whish.money →A wallet built around one job: getting money from abroad into Lebanon and out of a local ATM without losing it on the way. Transfers in from more than a hundred countries, plus virtual and physical cards.
The product's entire stated purpose is Lebanon, in its own words, and it cashes out at Lebanese bank ATMs. No founders are named on the site, so we name none. Note the live domain is purplwallet.com.
purplwallet.com →Fulfilment for small and medium online sellers: warehousing, order processing, packing and delivery, with a client portal and courier apps on top. The unglamorous layer that makes Lebanese e-commerce possible at all.
Their own homepage lists the Wakilni E-commerce Hub, Yared Building, Dekwaneh Industrial Zone, Beirut.
wakilni.com →A tuner that clips onto the tuning peg and tunes a string instrument in seconds, now on its fourth generation and shipping worldwide. Lebanese hardware, which is rarer and harder than Lebanese software.
Second party source, and we say so. The company site names no country, only Band Industries. Berytech, Lebanon's tech incubator, publishes that Band Industries is Beirut based, that it employs people across Beirut and Seattle, and names Bassam Jalgha and Hassane Slaibi.
roadiemusic.com →On demand delivery from restaurants, groceries and stores, on iOS and Android. For a lot of people in Beirut it is the default way the week's food arrives.
Thin but first party. Their about page names no country at all. The line we are standing on is on their careers page: "Today you're in our Beirut HQ; tomorrow you're leading our launch in new cities."
totersapp.com →Buy and sell tickets on web and mobile, across concerts, clubs, theatre, festivals and workshops. It is also where a good part of the Lebanese event calendar, including tech events, actually gets published.
Not a founder claim, a working one. The live listings are Lebanese venues, Iris Beirut, Music Hall, Sursock Museum, the Zouk Roman Amphitheatre and Tripoli, with dates running into November 2026.
ihjoz.com →02 · Declared interest
Cedro Club is run by Silent Key Technologies, a product studio out of Riyadh with a Lebanese founder. Its products are real and you can open them, so leaving them out would be its own kind of dishonesty. Putting them at the top with the rest would be worse. They sit here, in their own section, labelled.
A type foundry that runs in the browser. Draw your own letters and get an installable font back, or let the Font Agent design an original typeface for you.
Declared interest. Published by Silent Key Technologies, which runs Cedro Club.
fontbench.app →A print on demand studio that routes every order to the supplier with the best price or the fastest shipping to that particular customer, rather than to one fixed supplier.
Declared interest. Published by Silent Key Technologies, which runs Cedro Club.
swiftpod.app →AI listings for print on demand. One product image goes in and a complete marketplace listing, title, tags and description, comes back out ready to publish.

tagtitan.app →03 · The standard
Not because they were bad. Because a directory that promises to be checkable has to actually check. Some of the best known names in Lebanese tech now serve nothing: domains that no longer resolve, a site that returns an error, a company that redirected into an entirely different brand. One well known Lebanese AI startup's domain now serves a maintenance page in Indonesian, which means the domain has moved on and linking to it would send you somewhere strange.
Others were left off for the opposite reason. Real, working companies whose Lebanon connection would not survive a check: a founding story that only exists in old press, an offices page that now lists London and Dubai and nothing else, a name that sounds Lebanese attached to a company that says on its own site that it is based in Singapore. A Lebanese sounding name is not evidence. A few good candidates block automated reading entirely, and we will not vouch for a page we could not open.
Three things get a product onto this page. A link that loads. A product that visibly exists, so you can download it, buy it, sign into it or read its documentation. And a Lebanon connection we can point at, printed on the card, including when the source is somebody other than the company. If a claim needs a second party to hold it up, the card says so.
Nine we would defend in public. That is the number, and it grows the honest way.

If you are Lebanese and you have shipped something, this page is for you and it is free. There is no fee, no membership and no editorial favour to buy. Send the link and the evidence, and if it checks out it goes on the grid.
Running an event instead of shipping a product. The calendar has its own form.
05 · Corrections
If a card describes your company badly, points at an old domain, or gets the Lebanon connection wrong, that is our error and we want it. Corrections are treated as the most useful message this page can receive, and they go in ahead of new entries.
