at #makewithnotion with my business cards (i made mini tote bags inspired by @NotionHQ). i’m a design engineer seeking an exciting, new challenge in a fun, collaborative work environment
this is what i’m wearing today- come say hi and let’s connect☆
Today, we're announcing Alif ١.
It's a 5-week program to fast-track the most talented Muslim founders across the world into Silicon Valley.
There was a lot to learn from Batch 0 — we really were building the plane as we were flying it.
But as we made our way to Demo Day, it quickly became clear what made Alif special:
It was the people.
It was throwing a bunch of founders into an office together and watching them build relationships that would last a lifetime.
It was watching them celebrate each others' wins as if it was their own.
It was sitting in the room as they pitched to best VC's in the industry, while some of them had previously never even spoken to one.
That's why, for this next program, we're doubling down on the people.
Because it's hard enough to build something great.
But to build something great alone? That feels impossible.
So if you're a Muslim founder working on a big idea, we want to be your first believer.
Alif ١ will kick off on December 1st.
Applications are now open: @alifdotbuild

We're rebooting Tome to be a different company.
@magicaltome is now an AI assistant for breaking into new enterprise accounts.
Here's a bit on the journey we've been on…
Imagine you are a seller trying to break into @ParamountPics.
You get a precise insight for how to conduct outreach that resonates, with analysis that marries Paramount's strategic initiatives with your company's sales playbook and value prop.
Gone are the days of manually researching accounts across the public web and your internal data sources.
Stay tuned for more intelligence on how to break into large accounts.
if you're fasting solo in the SF/Bay Area and you're looking to break bread with other folks + make new friends, i made a list of iftars you can go to:
I used @magicaltome for a board meeting and it was wildly illuminating to know how much time each person spent on each part of the pre-read when considering their feedback. It would be crazy to fly blind on any meeting of consequence going forward.
