Who we are
A Muslim founder accelerator in Mississauga.
SixTwentyTwo is a community of founders and builders who help each other grow, so more Muslims become entrepreneurs.
Why we exist
Talent is here. Business skill is the gap.
Muslim communities are full of deep field expertise: lawyers, engineers, doctors, scientists. What's missing isn't talent. It's business skill: sales, marketing, strategy, lean execution, the specific muscle that turns expertise into a venture. That gap came directly from our own founder interviews: skilled people who didn't know how to build a company around what they knew.
At the same time, Muslim tech and ethical infrastructure barely exists. The platforms and tools our community depends on are mostly built by people outside it, and built to profit them. SixTwentyTwo exists to close both gaps at once: give Muslim talent the business skills to build, and grow the infrastructure our community actually needs.
How the program worksOur name
From 622 CE, the year of the Hijra.
The name comes from 622 CE, the year of the Hijra, when Muslims left a place of oppression to build their own legacy on their own terms. That's the model here: not escape for its own sake, but building deliberately, ethically, on values that don't bend under pressure.
What we do
Twelve weeks. One skill at a time. Your company as the weight.
We run 12-week cohorts that move early-stage founders from idea (stage 0) to real traction (stage 1), training one specific skill at a time with each founder's own venture as the weight.
The goal isn't one billion-dollar company. It's 10,000 Muslim millionaires built through tech, plus ethical alternatives to the platforms our community depends on, built to serve everyone, not just extract from them.
Who runs it
People building alongside the founders they support.
SixTwentyTwo is run by Muslims who care about their community and have put real time and energy into seeing it grow. Not detached operators. People building alongside the founders they support.
Meetups, updates, and ways to plug in.
Join the HijraWhat success looks like
Speed and values held together.
Success at SixTwentyTwo is speed and values held together. Iterate quickly. Build the thing you actually set out to build. But learn to build it with ihsan, with excellence and intention, and stay strategic without losing the values and morals you carry as a Muslim, at every stage, not just when it's convenient.
