Speed@BDD is a new technology accelerator based in Beirut. It is a result of a collaborative effort between Lebanon's leading investment funds and entrepreneurship support organizations (LFE, Bader, Berytech, MEVP). SpEED@BDD will accept start-ups at the idea or Minimum Viable Product stage, and will be tasked with producing Lebanon's next high-impact businesses, particularly in the software, digital, and web/mobile industries. The services it will offer include product development, mentoring, business development, accounting and legal services. Hosted in the Beirut Digital District (BDD), SpEED@BDD will admit two batches per year, and the top teams in each batch will benefit from follow-on acceleration in Silicon Valley.
