From The Heart Of Beirut, Startup Accelerator Seeqnce Plans To Thrive
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
If you were going to choose an interesting place to run an accelerator program for startups, Beirut would probably be one place you’d pick. I recently travelled to the city to meet with Seeqnce, a unique project which hopes to woo the Lebanese diaspora – spread throughout the world after Beirut’s notorious war-filled history – to a newly peaceful Lebanon.
This summer it plans to create 8 new startups drawn from Lebanon and the rest of the Arab world. Each startup will get investment, mentoring and offices. So far they’ve had over 275 applicants from 17 countries apply for the program which starts in September and ends in March 2013. Located in the the cool Hamra district of Beirut, in an office that was converted from a derelict apartment, Seeqnce plans to accelerate Beirut’s startup scene.
