The LaunchGood Vision

LaunchGood was started as a community and ecosystem to revive that spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship that elevated Muslims globally for centuries. It is a place to support great ideas in the community and also challenge ourselves to think bigger. It is a network that insists the Ummah is still alive in our hearts, that our hearts are connected no matter where we are. It is our showroom to the world of all the great things Muslims are capable of. Could a Muslim write the next Harry Potter novel, create the next Lord of the Rings trilogy, or discover the next great vaccine? We firmly believe so, that’s why we’re here. We invite you to be part of our global team. What has started as an online crowdfunding platform has grown into this network of nearly a million users. Together, we can change our communities, our countries and the world - one ambitious project at a time! Join us!
