Testimonials

“Umbrella500’s approach was both strategic and practical—bridging vision with execution. The program created real, measurable outcomes for our beneficiaries.”

Giacomo de Giorgi, World Bank- Senior Consultant

In my capacity as Impact Program Manager at beVisioneers, leading the grant-making efforts, I worked closely with Saleem. Saleem and the Umbrella team produced Pitching Masterclass videos covering every element of the pitch deck, led live group and one-on-one coaching sessions, and provided detailed, actionable reviews of our Fellows’ decks to prepare them for the demo days.

Ibrahem Ashraf Ahmad, BeVisioneers - Senior Impact Program Manager

Our collaboration with Umbrella500 significantly contributed to the growth of Alissar’s online store, leading to a truly integrated success. Their team stood out for dedicating time to deeply understand our customer needs and thoroughly analyze data to ensure we remained ahead of the competition.

Leen Nabulsi, Alissar - E-commerce Manager

My experience working with Umbrella500 on launching my first online store was a valuable step toward growth and success. I was genuinely impressed by the results, to the extent that I decided to hire them again to revamp and upgrade my website. Once again, the Umbrella500 team exceeded expectations and delivered outstanding results.

Baha Abdeen, Waqtee - CEO

It was a great honor for us at Nafeeseh to collaborate with Umbrella500. They were unmatched in their professionalism and deep dedication to their work. Throughout the entire project, they were exceptional in meeting deadlines and consistently providing timely feedback and input.

Mahmouad Safi, Sally Marketing and Nafeeseh COO

Umbrella500 went beyond the brief. They understood our mission, moved fast, and delivered a platform that brings our community together like never before.

Samer Haffar, SPARK - Creative Manager

Throughout the collaborative process, Umbrella500 has demonstrated a keen understanding of the unique needs and requirements of SPARK’s young entrepreneurs. Their receptiveness to feedback and their proactive approach to incorporating suggestions have been instrumental in refining the curriculum to align perfectly with the goals and objectives of our program.
