Its model is different from a normal VC: it matches private investments made by approved partners and angel investors, and it can partially guarantee those investments to lower the risk for people backing early-stage Lebanese companies. IM Capital was set up as a subsidiary of the Berytech Foundation with 15 million dollars committed over five years. In 2022 IM Ventures launched a 12 million dollar fund for manufacturers and exporters under the USAID Lebanon Investment Initiative. The group also trains angel investors through its Seeders program and co-created the SpEED@BDD accelerator.
