Find A Nurse is an online platform set out to become the easiest and most reliable way to find, hire, and manage nurses, nannies, and trusted caregivers.
Their online platform allows users to browse nearby caregivers’ profiles, filter and sort them based on proximity and fees, and check their photos, availability, qualifications, locations, and biographies.
Green Track is a social enterprise, offering both a service and a product, forming an overall solution to fix the neglected waste management process in Lebanon.
Their operations aim to remove the harmful waste that pervades the streets of Lebanon, notably economically marginalized areas.
Hadiyati is an online gifting service, where you can create your wishlist for any event, add to it the items you would like to receive, share it with your familiy and friends who can either purchase your gifts or simply contribute money with the amount of their choice. You can also use hadiyati.com to offer one common valuable gift (for example, for Teachers’ Day or Mother’s Day). Most importantly, you can use their group contribution service to collect funds for a common social or humanitarian cause.
Le Joyau d’Olive revives the ancestral craft of soapmaking by supporting artisans and exposing them to international markets.
Based in Lebanon, Le Joyau d’Olive is committed to helping small artisans whose ancestral techniques are disappearing over time. Over the past few years, they have taken part in growing awareness around natural cosmetics.
Little Melly‘s aim is to raise a well-nourished generation by creating baby food that’s worthy of your baby: freshly-made and additive-free.
Little Melly’s business model makes healthy food accessible, even to the busiest of parents. With their subscription model, fresh baby and toddler food is delivered to homes on a regular basis. Moreover, every month they send out around 700 portions of baby food to NGOs who then distribute them to babies and families in need. Their mission helps raise better generations. Their food menus are curated by dietitians and encompass a wide variety of both Lebanese and international recipes, allowing babies to develop a wide acceptance of food.

Nerdy Coach offers the clearest and best guided workout app in the MENA region, using a smart algorithm to create a personalized workout with very specific goals.
They help their users achieve their fitness goals by creating a custom workout adaptive to each person’s performance. Plus, they replace goals like “losing weight” or “increasing muscle mass” with progress that can be better visualized like “achieving a handstand” or a “pistol squat”.
OODA is a booking platform that lets users book hotel rooms during the day at reduced rates.
OODA provides an answer to this key question: “Why should I book a hotel room for a full overnight rate when I only need it for a few hours?” A digital business transformation for daycations is highly needed to cater to this growing trend worldwide and nationwide that is currently managed on a case-by-case basis and often run into human errors, since all operation is manually handled. What it needs is a standard, streamlined method that is both simple and discrete.
