Why Palmyra

Rooted in Culture. Built for the Future.

Palmyra.vc draws its name from the ancient city of Palmyra, a crossroads of trade, ideas, and reinvention. In the same spirit, we believe Syria’s next generation of founders are not just solving problems, they’re re-imagining what’s possible.

Whether you’re building a platform to digitize education and designing content studios in Syria, or an AI tool from the diaspora for the homeland, we’re here to back you.

Here’s how we help founders move from vision to velocity

Because rebuilding isn’t just about infrastructure. It’s about imagination.

And we invest in those who dare to imagine boldly.
