Investment Invitation – Habesha Hub: The First AI-Powered Marketplace for Ethiopian Culture

Dear friends and family,

I’m thrilled to share an opportunity that’s both deeply personal and nationally significant. As many of you know, I’ve spent years working across business, technology, and many development projects — and now, I’m launching something unprecedented: the world’s first AI-powered international marketplace dedicated to Ethiopian and Habesha culture/products, built right here in the UAE and powered by authentic creators from Ethiopia.

Our platform — Habesha Hub — will connect local Ethiopian artisans, crafters, farmers, and designers directly to global audiences eager for genuine cultural products. From traditional clothing and handcrafted jewelry to dry foods, books, and home décor, this marketplace will be Africa’s answer to “Amazon,” designed with AI features that personalize shopping and highlight emerging Ethiopian brands.

Our Vision

-> Empower local creators through direct international sales and fair pricing.

-> Preserve and promote Ethiopian heritage via global accessibility.

-> Create jobs and opportunities within both the UAE and Ethiopia through logistics, packaging, and export operations.

We’ve already tested pilot products, including cultural garments and accessories, and achieved strong profit margins and outstanding customer feedback abroad — a sign that demand is real and rising.

The Launch Plan

Official Launch Date: March, 7 2026

Stage: App and website in final development, vendor recruitment in progress.

Goal: To raise over $50,000 USD to cover first-year operational and launch costs.

Your Support

I’m inviting you to join me as a founding supporter of Habesha Hub and help bring this vision to life. Every pledge — whether $100, $500, $1000 or more — directly fuels development, logistics, and the initial product line that will showcase Ethiopia’s best to the world.

We are so excited about this initiative and the opportunities it will provide our people.

We want to thank you for reading and believing in this vision. Your encouragement and support mean the world to me — and to the many talented Ethiopians whose work deserves a global stage.

Let’s make history together!

Betty Aligaz
