Umbrella, a startup founded by Lebanese entrepreneurs Jibran Hamady and Emile Asmar, is developing an AI-powered platform that simplifies operations for the live entertainment and hospitality industries.
The platform helps event operators manage talent booking, venue and vendor coordination, contracts, logistics, and payments in one place. By automating routine tasks, Umbrella reduces administrative work, improves efficiency, and streamlines event management.
At IM Ventures, we see strong potential in Umbrella’s team, technology, and early business traction. We believe the company is well-positioned for growth in the global events market, with opportunities to create jobs for Lebanese talent, in line with our investment strategy.
