Whenever you start your journey, you never know where you will end up. You struggle. You try. You fail and succeed. You appreciate small wins, and the bigger vision is what drives you. Then the time comes. And everything makes perfect sense. Because truly, Allah is the best of planners.
Our whole lives we have been doing things that unknowingly prepared us to build Afterfund.
Omar (Linkedin) was an idealistic American law grad who spent his whole life in Islamic finance — working for VCs, acquiring companies, managing EUR 100 million funds, and developing market indices for stock exchanges.
And Dzanan (Linkedin) — well… he was all about building startups. Inspired by the Islamic Golden Age, he saw entrepreneurship as a duty toward the community. And this vision led him to found 2 successful millennial-focused fintechs. One company was bought by a US investor. The other found investors in Berlin and continued to grow further.
But none of that sounded like a great success to us.
We wanted to do something more.
Something for the community.
And then we figured it out!
We can use investing, the best wealth-creation tool today, to do more good.
To help more people.
To democratize the sunnah called ‘waqf.’
The story about the palm trees and infinite giving gives us an example of a type of donation that’s invested, continuously grows, and helps people more and more.
Called a ‘waqf,’ these donation machines were such a powerful idea that they spread through many lands and sustained Islamic civilization.
Today, we have the technology to modernize and automate this time-tested framework.
And that’s why we are creating Afterfund.
Afterfund:
👉 Continuously multiplies your donation through halal investing
👉 Periodically distributes profits to causes you care about
👉 Through the established nonprofit organizations that you pick and trust
Set up your infinite giving with a single donation at Afterfund
