A look back on Alif Summit 2025

That's a wrap on Alif Summit 2025.


Two months ago, we set out with a simple goal: to bring together the brightest Muslim builders from around the world.


And we saw it firsthand at the Summit.


We had some of the most successful Muslim founders on stage who have pushed the boundaries of what's possible.


From Amjad Masad breaking down the future of AI and software, to FaZe Apex sharing the reality of building a global brand, to Ameer Al-Khatahtbeh on reshaping media.


But the real magic happened in the conversations happening off-stage.


We had an Alif Founder walk away with an extra $250K.


Just by striking up a conversation with one of the VCs at the Summit.


A few of our other founders received term sheets that 5-10x their valuation from when they first joined the program after pitching on stage.


If there's anything the Summit has shown us, it is that we’re done limiting ourselves to the best "Muslim" version of anything.


We’re here to build the best, period.


Thank you to everyone who came.


Alhamdulilah.
