Want to Work With Us to Build Ummah Wide?

Seeking Technologists, Visionaries, Editors, Writers, Filmmakers, Storytellers, and Spring and Summer Interns, oh and Angel Investors

Ummah Wide is a media, technology, and publishing startup being built to tell stories across borders and boundaries. Our dream is to tell the stories that are not being told, stories that may not fit in neatly defined boxes, but merge and live across the realities of faith and identity, politics and history, cultures and everyday life around the world as it is lived on the ground.

Ummah Wide is a platform designed to connect people and to aid us in developing an Ummah Wide consciousness across race, faith, gender, nations, tribes and across differences and distances. We are a transmediastorytelling company built for emerging ideas, fiction, investigative journalism, politics, art, literature, travel guides, literary non-fiction and brands that transcend the global borders and boundaries of the Muslim and Human family.

What Are We Looking For?

Technical Partners — interested in building a truly global platform from the ground up with us? We have big ideas and we need the right technical partners to help us get them off the ground. From apps, to publishing we are ready to build with you.

Funding — Do you believe in telling a different story about Muslims throughout the world focused on the thousands of daily stories that are ignored by the main stream press? So are we. We believe we must shift the narratives about Muslims within the Muslim community and in the world at large. We also believe we can build a profitable high growth media company to make this happen. We would love to talk to you more about what we are building and how we could partner to create something truly transformative.

We are looking for committed and passionate editorial interns who can help us with day to day editing, to work with writers on design and publishing on medium and many other things.

Staff Writers Interns — We need staff writers, we have a ton of story ideas and we will not grow Ummah Wide without more writers who can help us grow. While these stories are not paid as of now, we are looking at a number of revenue channels to grow Ummah Wide and to pay our contributors.

Social Media Interns — We have a number of social media campaign ideas that we want to build out. Are you interested in social media marketing and interested in working with our channels on: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Pinterest?

Translators — Medium recently launched a translation program where you can easily translate already existing articles on Medium. To build an Ummah Wide platform we know we must publish in more then just English — we are looking for translators in — Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Turkish, Spanish, and French.

We would also love to see original pieces in any of the above languages that we can then translate into English.
