The Story Behind MatchMyBusiness
The plan behind MatchMyBusiness was born from a problem many of us face — the age of interest (riba).
I’ve heard countless stories of brothers and sisters with incredible ideas, eager to build something meaningful, yet struggling to find halal funding.
Sadly, many have fallen into the trap of conventional financing out of necessity.
MMB was created to change that — to build a world where Muslim entrepreneurs can thrive, grow together, and achieve success without compromising their faith.
Who Am I?
I’m Achraf Ouaden, a 21-year-old builder from Montreal with a background in business and accounting. I’ve always been drawn to solving problems through technology and creating systems that bring real value.
Like many young entrepreneurs in our community, I’ve always wanted to build something meaningful — but I quickly realized how difficult it was to grow projects without falling into interest-based systems.
I’ve seen friends with great ideas give up because halal funding options didn’t exist. Others compromised their values out of frustration, thinking there was no other way.
That’s when I decided: if no one else was going to build this, I would.
I’m not a finance expert or a seasoned founder — I’m someone who saw a real problem in our ummah and refused to ignore it.
MatchMyBusiness is my first major venture, but it’s being built with full dedication, transparency, and collaboration — guided by scholars, shaped by feedback from entrepreneurs, and supported by everyone who shares this vision.
I’m learning in public, step by step, to create something that will serve our community for decades to come — a platform built on faith, trust, and integrity.
My Intentions Behind the Platform
Right now, MatchMyBusiness is not yet a full platform — it’s an idea taking shape.
This page, this early version, exists to connect with you — the entrepreneurs, investors, and thinkers who see the same problem I do.
My goal isn’t just to launch another startup. It’s to build the go-to platform for halal business worldwide — one that connects opportunity, capital, and community, all within the boundaries of Islamic ethics.
That’s why I’m sharing MMB publicly from day one: to listen, to understand your challenges, and to shape the final version with you, not just for you.
Together, we can set a new standard for how Muslim entrepreneurs grow, fund, and build — without riba, without compromise.
The Mission Going Forward
The mission of MatchMyBusiness is simple — to make halal entrepreneurship accessible, transparent, and global.
In the coming months, I’ll be gathering insights from early entrepreneurs, investors, and scholars to shape a platform that truly serves our ummah — not just in words, but in structure, design, and impact.
MMB’s foundation will be built on three pillars: trust, transparency, and community.
Every feature, every connection, every partnership will be guided by these values.
My vision is not just to create a website, but to build a living ecosystem — a digital home where Muslim innovators can raise funds, grow together, and build legacies free from riba and unethical systems.
We’re still early, but the journey has begun.
If you share this vision — whether as an entrepreneur, investor, or scholar — you’re already part of it.
