Wolfofbey is the leading independent education program in the Middle East, recognized for empowering aspiring entrepreneurs with practical tools, strategic guidance, and community-driven support. As of Q1 2025, the program has enrolled over 5,100 students and attracted more than 150,000 participants to its free events, webinars, and workshops. What began as a modest initiative has since grown into a regional movement.
The brand was founded by Jad Fakhani in 2018, initially as an Instagram page with a mission to provide free, value-driven content for the Lebanese eCommerce community. At that time, Lebanon's eCommerce market was underdeveloped, valued at less than $10 million annually. Drawing from Jad’s experience in eCommerce dating back to 2013, Wolfofbey sought to fill the educational and infrastructural gaps in the market.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 presented an unexpected opportunity. With more time spent at home, digital education surged in relevance. The Wolfofbey platform responded by expanding its content output and deepening its educational commitment. This shift marked the transition from casual content to a structured, strategic education initiative.
