Zamanat is hiring an Institutional Sales and Web3 Partnerships Director in Dubai.
The role covers two parallel channels: traditional GCC distribution (family offices, HNWIs, Islamic investors, private banks) and Web3 distribution (digital asset managers, exchanges, OTC desks, custodians, onchain treasuries).
8 to 12 years in institutional sales, capital raising, or fund distribution. Current relationships required. Backed by @Disrupt_com.

Six trillion dollars in Islamic finance assets today, projected to reach ten trillion by 2030. The UAE sits at the nexus of that capital, the talent building onchain infrastructure, and the regulatory clarity to move it forward. Discussed what that convergence means for tokenized assets at the RWA Leaders Summit conducted by @RWAlabs_ae.
The opportunity here is structural, not speculative. That is exactly why Zamanat is building the global market for digital Shariah assets from the UAE.

@Disrupt_com has been behind Zamanat from the beginning. At the From Build to Market launch event, @jonathan_doerr explained why.
Zamanat’s first fund is live out of DIFC. But what got Disrupt excited was how Zamanat is being built. They are an AI-native venture builder and Zamanat is being built the same way. AI shaping how the venture itself operates, not just sitting inside the product.

@UmairTariq3735 on September 10th at the Zamanat: From Build to Market launch event. He spoke about the one thing that everything Zamanat is building comes back to.
In Islamic finance, capital is amanah, held in trust, and that principle has governed how money moves for centuries. Carrying this principle into digital investment products requires infrastructure which did not previously exist, and tokenization is what allows trust to be there from the very beginning. Zamanat is building exactly that.

What if you could test your next idea before you build it, without leaving Chatgpt or Claude ?
That’s what we just launched with Articos MCP, live on @ProductHunt today.
You can now:
→ Know if your messaging lands before you spend a dollar running it
→ Find your ICP and the segments you're not speaking to yet
→ See which ad or landing page version wins, and why
→ Build testing into your workflow, so validating a decision takes one prompt, not a project
The difference? The insights are grounded in real research, not an AI model making its best guess.
We built Articos MCP to bring the kind of customer research teams usually spend weeks on directly into the tools they already use.
See what we built → And if you find it useful, an upvote on Product Hunt today would mean a lot.

Tokenization gets discussed in terms of what it does to the asset. On Access Granted Episode 5, @UmairTariq3735 and @ARafayGadit focused on what it does for the people who could never access these assets in the first place.
The conversation worth having is not about the infrastructure. It is about who finally gets access.

After launching Zamanat's first DFSA-regulated fund last month, the questions around investor access, custody, and cross-border distribution for tokenized products got specific fast.
Plus the growing demand for Shariah Assets.
Going to Singapore 5-9 Oct to keep working through them.

Dr. Bhaskar Dasgupta, Chairman of Apex Fundrock ADGM Board (@ApexGlobalGroup) and Member of Board of Advisors for Zamanat, went straight to the part most people rush past at our launch event.
The challenge was never whether Shariah-aligned investors wanted these assets. They always did. The instruments were too big, too slow, or too expensive to reach them.
Blockchain and tokenization address the mechanics. A strong regulatory environment addresses the trust. But without Shariah alignment built into the foundation, neither reaches the investors who need it most.

8 years of building together gives you a lot to talk about.
Sat down with @brbordallo and @navilarobledo for one of the best conversations we've recorded yet.
The early days, the chaos along the way, how we got here, and why @ZIGFinance now. Plus a few stories that probably shouldn't have made the final cut 😂
Episode 6 of Access Granted goes live Wednesday

Proud moment speaking at @Harvard on tokenization, AI, blockchain and the future of Islamic finance.
I spoke about a problem I’ve been thinking about last 20 years, that is, should where you are born determine the financial opportunities you can access?
That same question has taken us from distribution, to infrastructure, and now to building @ZIGFinance around real financial products and global access.
Blockchain isn’t the mission, tokenization isn’t the product. Access is the key!
And ultimately, everything we build has to create real economic activity and value around the ecosystem, including ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01.
Good discussion & more work ahead :)

ZIGChain is now ZIG Finance.
Our business has grown beyond infrastructure into financial products, origination, structuring, distribution and ecosystem development, with ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 at the economic centre.
We're now building across financial products, origination, structuring, distribution, infrastructure and ecosystem development, with ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 at the economic centre.

On 10 September, we formally launched Zamanat in DIFC, joined by Truleum Venture Partners, @ApexGlobalGroup, @LaserDigital_, @ZIGChain, Hilal Invest and @Disrupt_com.
Our ambition is to build the global market for digital Shariah Assets, connecting asset owners seeking capital with investors looking for credible investments that meet their Shariah principles.
Thank you to our partners, our team, and everyone who joined us.
Disrupt.com retweeted
Last Thursday, in front of partners and friends, @ZamanatDigital moved from building to market.
We bring institutional structuring, Shariah evaluation and orchestration together to close the distance between traditional finance and what blockchain now makes possible.
More originators should be able to bring Shariah-aligned assets to market, and more investors should be able to hold them.
With the backing of @Disrupt_com we are building the team and the infrastructure to do it at speed.
Thursday was the announcement.
The market gets built asset by asset, and that starts now.

Nearly $58 trillion in natural assets sit almost entirely outside the investable universe.
Dr. Jonathan Doerr, SVP of Venture Building at Disrupt.com, tells @RaghdaIbraheem their venture "Rich" can now do the due diligence banks take three months for "within a few hours," making these assets investable on-chain.

Great start to @money2020_me.
Sharp panel on disruption, friction, and unlocking capital flows in and from the region. Thanks to our moderator @aimnotsydney!
Tomorrow on the Capital Stage, my colleague @JonathanDoerr breaks down how @Disrupt_com is building AI Native Ventures.

Across the GCC, SMEs face a $250 billion financing gap, with only 11% having access to credit. In the UAE, they generate more than half of GDP yet receive less than 10% of total bank lending.
Today, Zamanat launches Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited, a DFSA-regulated, DIFC-domiciled Credit Fund. Managed by Truleum Venture Partners and administered by @ApexGlobalGroup, with fund interests issued as ZM1 Investment Tokens on @ZIGChain.
First live proof point in bringing GCC private credit into digital markets.
Zamanat is backed by @Disrupt_com.

ORO secured a $100,000 AWS grant with the support of @Disrupt_com.
For an AI-native product, every conversation has a cost. Inference, retrieval, compute. It adds up fast and it adds up in real time. Having this solved before growth hits is the difference between scaling cleanly and scrambling to keep up.
Great backers do more than wire money.
