Artists

You might ask yourself if you've stumbled upon the wrong website. No black and white pensive photos of Partners. No catchy quotes. No. Patagonia. Vests. Well we can't really take credit for any of that. We spent hours sobbing in the shower at how we betrayed those comfort blanket Patagonia Nano Puff™ Vests. It was supposed to be their time to shine. The truth is, this website is not really about us or our vests. It's a digital version of a mother proudly putting up perfect report cards on the fridge. It's an ode to a group of amazing founders and amazing companies that were built in times of economic boom and a crushing pandemic. It's a testament to some amazing stories. We thought we needed help to tell those stories visually and so we reached out to some of the most talented and brilliant illustrators that we could find. They are based globally but all come from an immensely frustrating yet creatively inspiring place; Lebanon. Their representations of our portfolio companies have inspired us and made us proud. It has grounded us, in an industry of huge ideas and even huger talk, and allowed us to appreciate who we work with and what they are building. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
