Where Single Muslims meet
Muslims don't date - they marry. Muzz is where single Muslims meet. We are the world's biggest Muslim dating app, boasting over 10 million members and over 500,000 weddings, Muzz is making a real difference in the huge yet untapped global Muslim demographic. Shahzad Younas (London, UK) is the founder and CEO of Muzz. Formerly a Vice President in Equity Portfolio Trading at investment bank Morgan Stanley for 9 years, Shahzad quit his career to fully focus on building a high quality mobile app to help Muslims around the world to find their perfect marriage partner. Backed with a total of $9M investment (Seed and Series A) from a range of Silicon Valley and global investors, headquartered in Aldgate, London, and boasting a fast growing 80 strong team, Muzz is transforming how Muslims meet and marry. Muzz was the first Muslim centric startup ever to be backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2017) - the prestigious Silicon Valley based accelerator behind Airbnb/Dropbox/Stripe, and has been featured on the BBC, The Times, The Evening Standard, The Financial Times, The New York Times, CNN, MensHealth, and TechCrunch amongst many others.
Muzz is a dating and marriage app targeted at single Muslims, offering free profile viewing, messaging, and privacy features designed to align with halal practices. It emphasizes marriage as the goal and includes tools like chaperones and verified profiles to enhance safety and seriousness.
Users create profiles with voice/video intros, utilize free profile viewing, matching, and chat. Selfie verification, SMS confirmation, and location checks enhance safety. Privacy features include nickname usage and hidden photos; screenshot and screen recording blocks protect media. Advanced search filters and the option to include a chaperone (Wali) in conversations support serious matchmaking. Muzz Gold provides an enhanced, unlimited browsing/search experience for more precise matching. The app also promotes content about halal dating/marriage and real success stories to illustrate outcomes.
