Transforming values into venture outcomes, we are building Silicon Valley’s faith-first venture studio
What’s broken—and why we’re here
Too many Muslim founders are shut out of venture networks, go-to-market support, and culturally fluent guidance; Islamic capital is plentiful but lacks trusted, values-aligned vehicles; and the ecosystem is fragmented across markets and standards. We turn that fragmentation into a pipeline. Niya SF exists to unlock the next wave of Muslim-led innovation. We are building the missing infrastructure that aligns capital with capable teams and compliant products.
Our promise
“Halal is not a constraint—it’s a category-defining opportunity.” We’re here to build enduring, compliant companies that compound value for founders, investors, and communities—MVP to seed to global scale.
