Why Beirut
Beirut has a deep pool of finance professionals, academics, writers and creative talent. Many have experience across regional banks, brokerages and universities. Many also work fluently in Arabic, English and French.
This mix makes the city a natural base for producing high-quality finance content for an international audience. The Beirut hub works alongside contributors in other countries, bringing subject experts, course writers and production specialists into one workflow.
A cinematic production standard
Finance can be hard to teach well on video. Charts, instruments and market mechanics often get lost in long lectures and dense slides.
Capital Academy is taking a different approach. Each lesson is short, focused on one idea and produced to a cinematic standard, with clear visuals, a structured script and an on-screen instructor. The first class recorded at the hub set the benchmark that every later lesson must meet.
The team behind the lessons
The Beirut hub brings together several disciplines:
- Academic and subject experts who design learning objectives and review every lesson for accuracy.
- Course writers who turn complex finance topics into clear, short scripts.
- Video and AI production specialists who film, animate and edit each lesson.
- Quality reviewers who check content against Capital Academy's style and accuracy standards.
Two hubs, one platform
The Beirut hub handles content, production, technology and operations. Strategy, institutional relationships and partnerships will be led from Dubai.
With production now under way, the next step is to complete the full curriculum map: every class, every category and how they fit together into learning pathways.
