Summary

We’re a fast-growing startup designed to help minority communities make smart financial decisions. We have a passionate following and are solving a global problem. 

Many black and ethnic minority communities are Muslim and they have specific personal finance and investment needs. We believe this is a niche that is being overlooked.

Muslims are on average 20% poorer than the rest of the world. We are changing that through awesome content and education that people love. It’s a huge market too – Muslims make up around 25% of the global population. We’re breaking our traffic records every month and we have a big, global mission ahead of us.

IFG.VC is IslamicFinanceGuru’s angel syndicate. We have sophisticated investors from all around the world in our club. We are looking for an Investment Analyst to help our growth. The job role entails:

• Sourcing startups to invest in from your own network
• Conducting due diligence on startups to ensure only the highest-quality deals go to the syndicate
• Maintaining investor relations: speaking with investors and conducting webinars
• Administrative work to ensure that deal paperwork is run efficiently, helping investors to receive their documentation safely, and liaising with startups to ensure nothing is missed
• Working knowledge of Photoshop or similar to help with web design, posters, etc
