Welcome to The Huddle

The private, highly filtered community to grow your
business and faith.

Join a high-performing, spiritually grounded, and caring community.

Most startup founders never reach scale.

Why? Because too often, we try to do it alone.

We lack the strategy, accountability and the right people.

The Huddle is your personal Board of Advisors.

A group of 5 sharp, committed founders who help you problem-solve, stay focused, and open doors.

Entrepreneurship is lonely - but it doesn’t have to be.

Apply now to benefit from this and more.

Our Mission

To create a community of Muslim start-up founders who have a track record of success, and to energise their entrepreneurial and spiritual growth.

Who are our Huddlers?

We have built a curated community of start up entrepreneurs who already have skin in the game. Every Huddler has either invested money into their businesses personally, is investment backed, or is revenue generating.

Our members are former high-calibre professionals who've stepped away from corporate roles to build something of their own.

One took his company public as CEO. Another reported directly to Bill Gates as a strategist. Many hold PhDs in fields like Physics, International Relations, and Microfinance. Some are already generating seven figures in revenue. Others were General Counsel or senior leaders at firms like Deloitte.

We personally vet each member, then match them into cohorts based on time zone, business stage, personality, and sector experience — ensuring every Huddle is built for trust, traction, and real accountability.

Are investment-backed
