Ever wonder how modesty and fitness can co-exist in a way that *actually* looks good?
That’s why I created @getfithco to represent Muslims in a space where apparel only gets tighter and shorter. We just launched last year and have seen such amazing support from our community❤️

All I wish to prove is that a financial system based on true partnership, one that promotes circulation of money within people and communities instead of debtors and creditors, is not only more ethical. Over time, it's simply better financially for all.
Thank you for helping us surpass $20M in three short years, all from word of mouth. Whether you invested, put your name on the waitlist to buy a home, or shared Neeyah with a friend, thank you. This is for you.
We will build better together.

Congrats to my incredible team!!
I’m excited to announce that @harvey has acquired @guardrails_ai !
Back when we started Guardrails, our mission was to build infra that made the AI transformation of work more reliable and secure. Our open source framework helped establish the guardrails infrastructure category, and Snowglobe, our simulation software, helped our customers save millions of dollars in operating costs.
Today, legal AI is at the frontier of the knowledge work transformation, and I’m excited to carry our mission forward by bringing everything we’ve built to Harvey.
I want to thank our amazing customers, the Guardrails open source community, our team, investors and my partner-in-crime @zaydsimjee for their support throughout our journey. I’m super proud of what we built together, and can’t wait to work on the frontier of legal AI with @winstonweinberg, @gabepereyra and the incredible team they built!

A more vulnerable post - but do yall understand what it feels like to decrease churn? I’ll tell you - it’s amazing alhamdulilah.
A lot more to do to get this down to single digits

Working late usually isn’t a discipline problem. It is a sorting problem.
I suggest using the Eisenhower Matrix:
• urgent + important → do
• important, not urgent → schedule
• urgent, not important → delegate
• neither → drop
Most of what keeps us at our desks past Maghrib sits in those bottom two rows.
The Messenger of God ﷺ is reported to have said: “Part of a person’s excellence in Islam is leaving what does not concern him” [al-Tirmidhī, #2317]. Commentators like Ibn Rajab understood this as going beyond just gossip and prying. It can be applied to anything that carries no real benefit: speech, action, and even attention.
Choosing what to work on is far higher leverage than working longer.

You can access OpenAI models on Replit for free.
Our router also makes high-end models incredibly cost-efficient.
If you’re a business looking for an independent, multi-model alternative to Cursor, we’d be happy to fund your transition.
We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12.
We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them.

Most of the creator economy has been built around reaching people everywhere. Local businesses need something different: creators who live nearby, posting about places their viewers can actually walk into.
Today we’re launching @TryNearbyCom as part of @ycombinator S26, live with 120+ paying restaurants across Southern California.
We have spent the last 10 months doing restaurant visits with creators and sitting with hundreds of owners, learning what they actually need. That work grew us over 130% since the batch started with over 90% retention since November.
Excited to continue to make local businesses discoverable online, and to turn millions of locals into creators for the businesses around them.
i'm convinced @WisprFlow intentionally misspells words if you use their keyboard to force you to use their feature lol I know i'm not messing up this much

Excited to host the 2nd Souq Summit in LA this year for founders of ecom brands and service companies. From Day 1 of starting @SouqCapital, we fundamentally believed we go farther together. Everyone brings a different skill set and if we want to grow the businesses in our community, there is no room for a zero-sum mindset; we have much to learn from each other.
Souq has evolved from a working capital provider into an umbrella company offering advisory and, selectively, operational support across everything it takes to scale: fractional CFO, inventory planning, media buying, inventory financing, and even our own in-house fulfillment arm. From the outside, it might look like some of these people are working with their “competitors.” It’s exactly the spirit of collaboration over competition that I’m proudest of — it’s what makes the accelerator work so well.
We just signed our first $MM company to the Souq Accelerator, where our team now works fractionally inside the business. If you’re a cracked finance or software engineering professional, reach out — we’re hiring. If you know of any brand operators that would benefit from being in the room, please share.

I’m not one to gas up random videos but if you’re in e-commerce and want to better understand your unit economics - watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=95LccODm…
Another hack: copy/paste the transcript of the video after you watch it and input into Claude. Now you got a CFO on a budget.
