Digital, Tech & Startup Consultant in Lebanon
I’m Karim Muhtar, a digital, tech and startup consultant based in Beirut, Lebanon. I help founders and businesses make better decisions about their products, technology and growth, and use AI and digital tools to work smarter.
I bring 20+ years across design, product, technology and business, and I’ve co-founded 6+ startups, so my advice comes from building things, not just advising on them. I work in English and Arabic.
Consulting services
- Startup consulting: validate your idea, shape your MVP, plan your launch and avoid the mistakes that cost startups time and money
- Digital strategy and transformation: move your business online, digitize processes and choose where digital will make the biggest difference
- Tech consulting: choose the right platforms, tools and partners, decide what to build or buy, and brief developers clearly
- AI consulting: find practical ways to use AI in your business and product, from automating daily work to AI-powered features
- Design consulting: senior direction for your product, website and brand, including fractional creative director support
- Product and UX consulting: review your app or website and get a clear plan to make it easier to use and better at converting
Why work with me
- I’ve built what I advise on. As a co-founder of 6+ startups and a product design lead, I’ve taken products from idea to launch myself.
- Design, product, tech and business in one person. You get joined-up advice instead of separate opinions from separate consultants.
- Practical AI experience. I use AI tools in my own work every day, so I recommend what actually works, not what’s trending.
- I can also do the work. If you want, I can design, manage or build what we plan, so advice doesn’t stay on paper.
Who I help
Founders turning an idea into a product, startups preparing to launch or grow, small and medium businesses going digital, companies adding AI to how they work, and agencies that need senior product and design support.
How I work
- Understand: your business, goals, customers and constraints
- Diagnose: find what’s working, what isn’t and where the biggest opportunities are
- Plan: a clear, prioritized plan you can act on
- Execute or support: I help you carry it out, or do the work myself
Flexible ways to hire me
Hourly, weekly, on a monthly retainer (full-time or part-time, as your ongoing advisor) or per project. A single consultation session is also available. Tell me what you need and I’ll suggest the setup that fits your budget and goals.
Frequently asked questions
What does a digital consultant do?
A digital consultant helps a business use technology, design and online channels to grow. That can mean planning a new product, moving processes online, choosing tools or improving a website or app.
How can AI help my business?
AI can save time on everyday tasks like writing, research, support and reporting, and it can power features in your product. I help you find the uses that make a real difference for your business and set them up.
Do you work with startups at the idea stage?
Yes. I help founders validate their idea, define the first version of the product and plan the launch, before a lot of money goes into development.
Can you also build what you recommend?
Yes. I’m also a product design lead and product manager, so I can design, manage or build what we plan together, or work alongside your team.
How much does consulting cost?
It depends on the scope. I work hourly, weekly, on a monthly retainer or per project, and single consultation sessions are available. Send me a short brief and I’ll reply with a clear quote.
Do you only work with businesses in Lebanon?
No. I’m based in Beirut, and I also work with businesses in Dubai, the wider Gulf and internationally.
