The Seed That Dreamt of Light,

About the event

We're producing an intimate poetry book release event called The Seed That Dreamt of Light — a debut collection by poet Moud, with artwork by @codytarantino (330k on IG), who has partnered with J Balvin and Disney. The event is a full immersive installation: ~100 curated guests, six live acts (music, saxophone, spoken word, short film, communal painting), each separated by guided ritual moments. Intimate, intentional, fully documented.

Why should you sponsor?

We're bringing in five brand partners whose products are sampled by every guest throughout the evening. Partners receive product placement during the ritual sections, placement in professionally produced Reels and a short film, editorial photography in an immersive artistic setting, and co-branded visibility across all event promotion and post-event publishing. Our audience is wellness-forward, creative, and intentional — people who discover brands through experience, not ads. We're seeking a product partnership and would love to explore what that looks like together.

Mahmoud Salem

Moud is a UCLA economics graduate and healthcare entrepreneur whose path to poetry was not planned — it was necessary. Somewhere between building a company and navigating the weight of purpose, he turned to the page. What began as private reckoning became a debut collection: The Seed That Dreamt of Light — a body of work exploring identity, growth, struggle, and what it means to fully inhabit your own life. Moud writes the way people think when no one is watching: honest, urgent, undecorated. His voice carries the discipline of someone who has built things in the real world and the vulnerability of someone brave enough to ask why.
