Create. Build. Run.

Majara is neither an agency nor a fund. We start the company, build it with our own people and run it.

  1. Create

    We start from a real gap in a market we know, and test demand with real customers before heavy spending.

  2. Build

    Majara's own engineering, design and growth teams ship the first product and take it to market.

  3. Run

    We help run every company we build, sometimes alongside outside founders, and then scale it, spin it out or exit.

One platform behind every company

Every new company inherits a team, a tech stack and a working growth engine on day one.

  • Growth

    One growth team markets every company, with ad leads flowing into the CRM automatically.

  • Engineering

    The same engineers and stack carry from company to company: web, mobile and AI agents.

  • Playbook

    The same playbook and automations run in every company, so each new one starts from what already works.

The founder

Ziyad Al-Qahtani

Founder & CEO of Majara

“When I exited my first company and started a software house, I saw a pattern: every company was solving the same problems and rebuilding the same work from scratch. I founded Majara to build that work once and run it across every company we start, so each one gets to market faster, succeeds sooner, and costs less to get there.”
