About Hilal
The capital exists. The founders exist. The connection between them barely does.
( 01 ) The gap
Muslim founders are building everywhere, often outside the rooms where early money moves. At the same time, people who want to back them have had no clean way in. Hilal exists to close that distance.
( 02 ) What we do
Back.
As a syndicate, we invest early in companies built by Muslim founders, one company at a time, through ordinary equity, where we share the gain and the loss.
Gather.
Majlis by Hilal: small, intentional gatherings in the cities where our founders and investors live. First cities announced soon.
[ Coming soon ]
Build.
The Sighting: a founder competition and build programme.
[ Coming soon ]
( 03 ) How we work
Founders pay us nothing, ever.
We earn only when our investors do.
An independent Shariah board rules on our investments, not us.
Every founder who reaches out gets an answer.
( 04 ) Why “Hilal”
The hilal is the new crescent, the first sliver of moon, seen before anyone else can see it. Communities have always gathered to sight it together. That's the work: seeing a founder early, and backing them together.
