Today I'm announcing something I've been working on for the last 2 years: Alif.

When I started building my first company 5 years ago, I had no help.

There was no Founders, Inc. yet. Buildspace didn’t exist either.

I wouldn’t have gotten accepted into any accelerator if I tried.

I didn’t have the people in my corner that I do today.

In fact, people told me that I was throwing my life away almost every step of the way.

I'm building Alif into the program I wish I had when I was starting out.

It's a 7 week fast-track for Muslim builders who want to start a company.

With what we've seen from AI in the last two years, there's a window of opportunity that's never existed at this magnitude in history.

More people will be able to create generational impact during this period than ever before.

There’s never been a better time to build.

This first batch won’t be perfect — this is an experiment more than anything.

But I truly believe that something like this has to exist.

I'll be rolling out more information over the next few weeks.

Batch 0 will kick off on June 24th.

Bismillah.
