Cedar Mundi Ventures (“CMV”) is a Lebanese venture capital firm investing in international technology startups, having substantial economic presence in Lebanon and growth opportunities in the Middle East.
We invest, or co-invest alongside key European / US VC firms, in Series-A, -B and -C of mid- to late-stage technology startups.
We reach out to our European tech networks, and to the Lebanese Diaspora in particular, to bring to the region best-in-class technology startups founded or led by Lebanese entrepreneurs or friends abroad, seeking expansion capital and hands-on support from our corporate resources to access the Middle East markets.
