Pre seed open: 1M dollars on a post money SAFE, 4M dollar cap, 20 percent discount.
For investors

The values layer for the Muslim internet

Two billion Muslims are online with no safety brand built for them. The major VPNs sell privacy and stop there. HalalVPN adds the layer families actually pray for: filtering in seven haram categories, profiles for every member and a dashboard for parents, inside one subscription.

The opportunity

A global market with an empty seat

Privacy is a crowded shelf. Values based family safety for the largest faith community on earth is not a shelf at all yet. HalalVPN is built to own it.

$86B

Total market

Global consumer VPN and family safety spending. Families already pay for privacy; the values layer rides on a proven willingness to subscribe.

$6.8B

Serviceable market

Some 120M values aligned households and users, about ten percent of the 1.2B Muslims online today, in markets where subscription payments work.

$68M

Long term target

1.2M subscribers, one percent of the serviceable segment, at a blended 57 dollars a year. A first milestone, not a ceiling.

The wedge

Start where the pain is loudest: parents. A VPN is a utility. A guard for your children's eyes is a duty. Duties retain.

The distribution

Masjids, schools, creators and family word of mouth carry trust that ads cannot buy. Our go to market is built on partnerships first, community always.

The expansion

The same trusted audience is the launchpad for a family of products: institutions next, then the wider portfolio of faith aligned apps from the same house.

Traction

Live on both stores, growing organically

The app shipped with zero paid marketing. Every number below came from the stores and from community sharing.

191KApp Store impressions
2,310first time downloads
~40%growth, month on month
2stores live, iOS and Android

App Store Connect data to October 26, 2026. Android launched October 2026, with store reporting from November. Most people meet HalalVPN through the free hours inside every download, and that is where usage concentrates today: a growing free audience, acquired at zero marketing cost. The raise builds the fleet and the conversion engine that turns that audience into subscribers.

Business model

Subscriptions with a conscience, and the math to match

Individual at 44.99 a year, Family at 79.99, Institutions at 499 per site. Monthly plans are priced high on purpose, the pattern the category leaders use to sell annual plans.

The model reaches monthly profitability in month 23, with a lowest cash point of 396K dollars along the way and a Year 5 revenue run rate of 5.6M dollars. Projections come from the current investor model; forward looking statements are plans, not guarantees.

Use of funds

Where the 1M dollars goes

$1M24 months of runway

Marketing and growth, 430K. Partnerships with masjids, schools and creators, community campaigns around Ramadan and the Eids, and disciplined paid testing once organic channels prove out.

Product and engineering, 310K. The fix and hardening programme, the parent dashboard, desktop apps and the institutions tier.

Servers and audit, 190K. A fleet growing toward twenty countries on proven hosts, plus the independent security audit and penetration testing that make our privacy claims provable.

Legal and Shariah, 70K. Separate incorporation, insurance, aligned legal documents and a formal Shariah board charter.

The team

Enterprise delivery, telecom engineering and VPN growth

The founder spent two decades in enterprise quality assurance, breaking software for a living. HalalVPN is being built to survive exactly that scrutiny, and its security gaps are being closed in the open, before scale.

Investor questions

Before you ask

Start with a conversation. Write to zahmad@halalvpn.ai and we will set up a call, walk the product and the model, and then open the data room to you. Investments close on a standard post money SAFE.
A trusted subscriber relationship with Muslim families, earned in the category where trust matters most. That audience, and the brand behind it, is the asset: it carries the institutions tier next and a portfolio of faith aligned products behind that.
This is an early stage company with early stage traction. The category needs education, the app stores control distribution, and our privacy claims are being put through an independent audit whose findings we will publish. Full risk factors are set out in the deck and the subscription documents, and we would rather show them to you than sell around them.
