Assalamu alaykum,
We’re opening up applications for our residency coming up in October inshaaAllah.
If you know any founder with a good track record and working in a large market, feel free to refer them to me.
£2,000 upon successful referral.

Assalamu alaykum,
I'm building an angel network to invest into some of the top Muslim Builders in the West. Anyone wanna join us?
Assalamu alaykum,
I see that Muslims are usually underserved by traditional accelerators, VCs etc… so I want to change that and build an accelerator for Muslim builders. The first step would be getting together the community and I’m wondering if anyone might benefit from it?
Jazak’Allahu Khairan
Assalamu alaykum,
Building an accelerator for muslim founders based in London. The first cohort will take place in a muslim country where 10 of the most ambitious and smart founders in the world will gather and build a company from your house for 30 days.
We’ll film the whole sequence and make a mini-serie out of it inshaAllah
Know anyone that might be have a large house to rent at a heavily discounted rate (given the exposure the house will get) - or that would be willing to take some quite into the companies that come out of his house?
Please refer them to me 😄
Barak'Allahu Feekum

We have a loot of talent and so many that have gone onto building sucessful businesses, as well as those starting out. I'm putting together a community of founders where they will have access to angel investments, resources, mentorship and potentially offices inshaAllah as well as monthly meet ups.
Would that be valuable for this community?

All this starts from the community, let me know if you'd want in!
(We verify each founder to keep the quality high)

Reflecting on one post I've seen on here recently.
Why is it that when it comes to ambition we find non-muslims exceeding us? (related to this dunya).
We should strongly believe that our Lord provides both in this world and the hereafter.
As the other post was saying, building prayer apps, calendar, islamic applications is great and may Allah facilitate the affairs and reward heavily of anyone doing so.
Let's also build the drive to own the next payment processors, social medias, AI models, infrastructure, and even rocket businesses.

Assalamu alaykum,
been deep in the startup credit rabbit hole lately and figured i'd share what i found, specifically filtered for the brothers and sisters building things. here's the list (no particular order): (yes I used ai to format it, still useful tho!)
cloud + infra
ai / ml
7. anthropic for startups — claude credits, usually via a partner
8. nvidia inception — $100k+ in value, open program, great for compute-heavy stuff
9. openai startups — api credits
10. hugging face — pro free for a bit + model hub 11. cohere / elevenlabs / perplexity — smaller but stackable
dev + saas
12. github for startups — enterprise seats free for a year
13. hubspot for startups — big discount (deepest tier needs an accelerator)
14. notion / linear / vercel — credits + free tiers
15. mongodb / datadog / sentry — direct startup programs
couple things i learned the hard way: these credits expire (usually 1–2 yrs) and can't be cashed out, so don't claim a giant cloud credit you can't actually burn. match it to what you'll genuinely use in the next 6–12 months. and for the vc-gated ones there's often a hard 12-month-after-raise window.
i've got the full list with direct apply links + the eligibility gotchas for each + a sane application order. didn't want to make the post a mile long
drop a comment and i'll send the whole thing over, happy to help anyone building.
May Allah put barakah in your work

Developed and launched dozens of products in the AI spaces across many verticals al hamdulillah.
Working in London, I can’t help but notice the gap in the resources available and the ambition that separates Muslims founders from other groups when it should actually be the opposite!
Let’s try to change that one person by one person. I’ll be having interviews with founders and helping them in the development, positioning as well as providing access to some resources inshaAllah
This is for free (just to clarify I’m not selling any service here rather building a community of Muslim founders)
I’m currently looking to acquire a small SaaS, micro-SaaS, or AI-powered tool to operate and grow long-term.
If you’re a founder even slightly considering selling, feel free to reach out.
What I’m looking for
SaaS / micro-SaaS / AI tools
Preferably B2B, but open to strong consumer products
Already live and being used (not pre-revenue)
Some existing traction:
paying customers, or
consistent inbound users / SEO traffic / organic growth
Open to small projects doing anywhere from a few hundred dollars MRR up to larger opportunities
Ideally simple to operate with clear growth potential
Bonus if there’s strong retention or a niche audience
What matters to me
I’m not looking to flip something quickly.
I’m looking for a real product with real users that I can continue building over time. I care a lot about maintaining and improving what founders have already built.
If you’ve built something valuable but no longer have the time, energy, or interest to keep pushing it forward, I’d be happy to chat.
DMs are open.
Assalamu alaykum,
Rayan here, based in London. I’ve been working with founders across the UK and the US for the past two years and have helped develop 20+ SaaS products.
Our specialty is designing and building SaaS products, especially AI agentic products. I see many founders making the same mistakes around design, go-to-market, product development, and launching without validating demand, or struggling to even take the first step.
I’d like to select one founder to advise and potentially help design their SaaS for free, inshaAllah.
Reply in the comments if that’s of interest.

Hey SaaS,
I owe this community a lot since this is where things started.
Been developing over 20 SaaS as an AI-first venture development company since before ChatGPT was a big thing.
I’ve reviewed more than 200 founders and how they approach launching their startups. Here are few things I saw and that could benefit anyone that wants to join.
The path will likely be hard and longer than what you thought. If you’re after ease of life, you probably wont get that early on (I say probably because we can’t generalise). If you stay in the game long enough though, you’ll probably find yourself in that position though
Be mindful about the reason why you want to start a business.
If you genuinely enjoy learning then I’m worried about your competitors. You’ll face many challenges and ways to do things differently. If you’re humble enough to recognise that you’re not doing it the right way and change then you’ll be at the top on the long term.
The best profiles are usually industry experience -> solve a problem for that industry (this can vary a lot of course)
Don’t follow the latest hype, you’ll always be one step behind.
Rather build your conviction, be contrarian, one thing that you think is not working well and you’re convinced you can change it. Keep at it until the market catches up to you, don’t do the opposite.
Again I’ve seen some businesses actually playing on the arbitrage of markets and launching opportunities in market that the technology didn’t reach yet.
Be very careful about your assumption and test it against the market. What you should consider a propriety and get to the truth and distill your ideas back to their fundamentals
If you’re looking to build in the AI space, feel free to reach out and I’ll see if I can provide further advices! (Please be mindful I might take a bit long to respond)
Hope this was useful
Cheers,
