LEBNET NEWSLETTER

Building Connections. Creating Opportunities. Together.


August 2024

EDITORIAL NOTE

Imagine a world where we, as Lebanese, have a global network ready to mentor, refer, and support each other in advancing our careers—a network that will be there for future generations of Lebanon. At LebNet, we believe it’s our responsibility to build and grow this community for all tech professionals, driving real economic revival for our country. We’re here to create that chain—a North American network with the ultimate goal of becoming a worldwide community of Lebanese in tech, ready to connect, exchange, and support one another, wherever you are.

To continue fulfilling this vision, we are launching our annual fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $250,000 by the end of 2024. Your generosity has been the cornerstone of our success, enabling us to drive career growth and foster connections for our 3K+ members. However, the rapid growth is such that we are struggling to keep up the pace with our current resources.

We invite you to renew your support to help us expand our impact. Join us in advancing careers and empowering the next generation of Lebanese in tech.

Thank you in advance for your support!
