The venture arm
Screened companies. Mapped capital.
Ayman Khalil built this practice and leads it with his own team. It sits beside the Alliance: the room is where people meet, the venture arm is where a company is taken apart and pointed at the right money or the right partner.
How it runs
Three steps. Then a real next move.
- 01
Screen the company
Sector fit, traction, operating history, and fundraising stage. A company that cannot say where it is does not go further.
- 02
Map the capital
Investors are mapped at fund level: check size, stage, and geography. The list is specific, not a spray of names.
- 03
Two ways out
Fundraising support for the founder, or acceleration through operating and technology partners. Sometimes both. Never a vague intro.
Where he sits
The seats behind the practice
LvlUp Ventures
VC in Residence and Deal Flow Partner. Alliance member of the LvlUp Innovation Alliance.
Boardy
Deal Partner and a member of the advisory board. The AI that does the introduction when both sides opt in.
Vanguard Services
General Director of the Beirut firm he co-founded. The venture arm grew there, next to an operating company that already runs sales, talent, and delivery.
The partner set
Who the work can move through
These are operating and technology partners in the set he built. They are not a portfolio, and they are not logos for decoration.

If this is you
A founder with a round. An investor with a mandate.
Say which you are, and what you need, in the request. The Alliance is the other door if you want the room itself.
