Muslim Tech Fest 2025 Offers £30K Prize to Boost Startups
Muslim Tech Fest 2025 (MTF) announced a £30,000 investment prize for its MTF Pitch competition on Friday. The event will take place on 21 June at the Novotel London West hotel. It aims to spotlight and support Muslim-led tech startups. Star-Studded Speaker Lineup
This year's festival features prominent figures like Zubair Junjunia, founder of ZNotes, an education platform with 6 million users. Ahmed Khalifa of PurpleByte, Mai Medhat, Mariam Ahmed of Menza, and Arda Awais of Identity 2.0 will also speak.
MTF's 2024 events in London and San Francisco sold out, solidifying its role as a top platform for Muslim entrepreneurs. Last year, Haroon Mokhtarzada discussed scaling Rocket Money to $1.3 billion. Chris Blauvelt shared how LaunchGood raised $688 million globally.
Arfah Farooq, MTF co-founder, emphasized Muslim entrepreneurs' potential: 'MTF turns ideas into action. With MTF Pitch, we're creating real change.' The festival connects founders with investors and industry leaders. Ethical Investing Focus
Rama Chakaki and Raed Masri of Transform VC led talks on ethical investing at MTF 2024. Meanwhile, Ismail Jeilani revealed how LiveLink secured $3 million from Google and Biz Stone. Moreover, Onfido's co-founders, Ruhul Amin and Husayn Kassai, discussed their AI-driven identity verification firm's recent acquisition, marking one of the UK's largest tech exits in years.
MTF continues to empower innovators while fostering global connections in tech and finance.
