Dhow Capital: Sharia-Compliant Investment Platform

Dhow Capital is the first community-aligned investment platform dedicated to connecting Muslim investors with Sharia-compliant private market opportunities. Founded in 2024, Dhow addresses the critical funding gap where Muslim founders receive less than 1% of venture capital despite controlling a $2.3 trillion consumer market.

Key features include rigorous halal compliance screening, Islamic finance scholar oversight, and focus on faith-aligned investing. The platform serves Muslim entrepreneurs, investors, and Limited Partners seeking Sharia-compliant investment opportunities in technology, healthcare, fintech, and other halal industries.

Dhow Capital ensures all investments avoid prohibited industries including alcohol, gambling, conventional interest-based banking (riba), and other non-halal activities. The platform targets accredited investors initially, with plans to expand eligibility as regulations allow.

Geographic coverage includes United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Indonesia, serving the global Muslim investment community with faith-aligned capital deployment opportunities.
