That's the idea fueling Shahed Amanullah, a serial entrepreneur and a Muslim American who has been vocal about Trump's immigration policies. Minbar is a platform aimed at helping entrepreneurs in underserved markets with everything from formulating startup ideas to raising capital. They're also able to connect with entrepreneurs in the U.S. who speak Arabic or French for feedback and advice. Amanullah and McClure both say that the current political climate has created a heightened need to embrace entrepreneurs around the globe. Affinis Labs is eying Somalia, Libya and Iraq -- all countries included on Trump's original executive order -- as potential markets to launch Minbar.
