Our roots

From Damascus

The Mousilli family comes from Damascus, Syria, one of the oldest cities in the world. From there the family made its way to the United States, carrying the values of home with it: education first, honest work, generosity to neighbours and strangers, and faith.

The brothers still give back to Syria. In 2025 Feras returned to Damascus to speak at SYNC, and he advises and supports the founders building Syria's new startup community.

  • Education

    An engineer turned professor, a builder of systems and a teacher of fifty years. Learning runs in the family.

  • Hard work

    From Dell and Apple to oilfields in Brunei, the brothers learned by doing the work.

  • Generosity

    Pro bono work, free classes and support for founders back home.

  • Faith

    The quiet centre their parents gave them, and the reason to be humble.

What connects them

Building for others

Different work, one habit: both brothers spend their time making other people stronger. Feras protects what founders invent and teaches the next generation of lawyers. Basim builds the systems that give owners their time back and teaches anyone who wants to learn. Both found their way to Medellín, Feras as a Fulbright professor and Basim as a builder of homes and community.
