Founded in 2011, Shekra was a pioneering investment network based in Cairo, Egypt. Its mission was to facilitate Sharia-compliant investments in startups and early-stage companies across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The platform served as a bridge, connecting entrepreneurs seeking capital with a network of angel investors looking for compliant investment opportunities. In 2020, Shekra was acquired by Ethis Group, a leading ethical and Islamic crowdfunding platform, to strengthen their presence in the MENA region. While the brand and website still exist, its primary operations have been absorbed into the Ethis ecosystem.
