Friday Talk - If Muslims Don’t Invest in Muslims, Who Will?
Muslims have talent. We have founders. We have ambition. What we often lack is coordinated capital behind our own people.
In this Friday Talk, Abir Liben and Shamoon Siddiqui will walk through angel investing through a Muslim lens. This is a practical intro and a call to action, because communities that fund each other build lasting strength.
We’ll cover:
What angel investing is, how it actually works
Deal mechanics: SAFE, priced rounds, ownership, dilution, follow-ons
How we can build a Muslim angel culture that helps founders win
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to support Muslim founders, but I don’t know how”, this is for you.
Abir is a VP at Synchrony Ventures, leads the angel syndicate for Habeshas in Tech, and was previously an investor at Primary and Serena Ventures.
Shamoon is the CEO of Human Friendly Robotics - a deep tech startup poised to disrupt construction with… robots. He is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience, ranging from BookSwim (the worlds first book rental platform) to Crypto Street (one of the earliest crypto exchanges) and more.
