Salamworks Startup Incubator · First cohort coming soon
Turn your idea into a company.
Get direct feedback from founders and operators who have done it, build alongside an ambitious cohort, and leave with something real to show.
Why this incubator
Our goal is to help fellow Muslims find success in the startup world.
We are launching a tech incubator at Salamworks, in sha Allah.
The Cambrian explosion of the next generation of tech is happening right in front of us. We are fortunate to be in a position to take advantage of this, but we need to participate.
There are numerous hurdles that make it harder for Muslims to participate in the startup world. Our representation is grossly deficient, and we would like to help change that, in sha Allah.
We believe the solution is to get a large number of Muslims to participate in the startup world. Today’s mini startups will be the future’s Apple, YouTube, and Instagram.
We are bringing together successful Muslim founders and investors to act as guides and mentors.
If you have an idea that you want to build a business out of, or if you already have a product that you want to scale up, this incubator is for you.
