Launch Good: Always Standing Up For Their Ummah

LaunchGood has brought people from all over the world together, and first responders work together during disasters. Muslims who are creative come up with new ways to make the lives of Muslims around the world better. LaunchGood also helps build mosques, Islamic institutions, and Dawah efforts around the world.

Along with the help of a few Muslim volunteers, LaunchGood.com went live in September 2013. LaunchGood kept going even though it had trouble getting venture capital funding twice. The company was started in May 2015 with the LaunchGood Fellowship. The fellowship helped bring together 38 fellows from seven different countries to work on the project. When it started in June 2015, the Ramadan Challenge asked people to make products that met the needs of Muslims.
