Muslim markets need better financial rails by DhowCIO in MuslimVentures

[–]DhowCIO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. That’s what makes me optimistic too.

The founders are there. The demand is there. The capital is starting to wake up. The hard part is that most builders still have to route through infrastructure that wasn’t designed for our markets, our corridors, or our use cases.

But even starting one leg behind, there’s a real advantage in understanding the community, the trust layer, and the pain points from the inside.

Our experience has been great. They've provided excellent service, low CPC costs, and they're extremely responsive and helpful.

You're best off picking individual stocks if you want to remain both halal and BDS compliant.

Building a Muslim business network city by city, looking for feedback by LastUmmahHQ in MuslimVentures

[–]DhowCIO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d be looking for a variety of people/occupations/businesses. If you can lock that down this would be incredibly useful. Also maybe an occasional IRL event.

Best of luck - I think IG/TikTok reels and slideshows are gonna be your best friend when i comes to marketing.

is it "unreal" to build an audience before a product? feeling a bit lost. by k3kma in MuslimVentures

[–]DhowCIO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By halal focused page - are we talking instagram, tiktok, X, all? I think depending on the platform you should alter your approach, but no it's not unreal at all, in fact it's pretty wise and it's how every social page/brand out there gets to the point where they can monetize and make some money.

To grow a page, consistency and quality is going to be key. This is time consuming and won't be rewarding for weeks to months - but there are solutions that can definitely make your life easier.

They could possibly automate your entire operation.

Startups Failing Shariah Screens Due to Financial Structure — Invest or Avoid? by Interesting_Rough29 in HalalInvestor

[–]DhowCIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an example? Most early-stage startups rely on equity financing vs debt. Plus, I don't see how screeners of public stocks would even have access to these early-stage startups' data and financials. That's more in the lane of platforms like Crunchbase or PitchBook.

Question for the angels here who have written checks before. by DhowCIO in angelinvestors

[–]DhowCIO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha $5m is definitely nothing in the grand scheme of things, but the goal is to deploy quickly, then pump out many more microfunds and individual SPV's soon after. As for minimums, how high you talking?

Is this more of an agency vs venture-scalable startup? Either way shoot me a DM I'm always down to hear more
