What Amal Invest does

Amal's an investing app for Muslims. Muslims only invest in Shariah-compliant business, but it's hard to know which businesses are compliant. That's because it's based on complex financial metrics that change over time. We take that burden away entirely. Amal can filter stocks but also, remarkably, funds. Set your filters up once, and you'll have access to a universe of investments that cater to your specific requirements. Sign up today at

Investing app for Muslims

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an investing app that helps Muslims easily find Shariah-compliant stocks and funds. The compliance rules rely on complex, changing financial metrics that are hard to track manually. Our product fully automates the filtering so users can set their criteria once and invest confidently without worrying about compliance.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Manama, Bahrain, and operate remotely as well. After YC, we will continue to be based in Manama and remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Manama offers a strategic location bridging the Middle East and global markets, close to our initial user base. We have strong ties here, and running the company remotely is feasible given our small, distributed team.
