Announcing Batch 0
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.
