**1. Project Title**  
IqraCrypto  
**2. Description**  
IqraCrypto platform will be fully launched in 3 weeks from now.  
The goal is to become the first online eLearning platform to train and educate eagers and professionals in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in the MENA Region.

**3. Manifesto/Vision**  
IqraCrypto will support all entrepreneurs to build their project in the MENA Region.  
Being the first platform teaching in Arabic and assisting learners in Arabic, will grant us a good market share, with your support, reaching these goals will be easier!

**4. Problem**

- No Reference Platform
- Less assessments
- Language barrier
- Unavailability of online teachers
- Limited Courses
- Lack of courses
- Unfriendly website
- Arabic is not available
- Boring videos Unsystematic format
- No Live Sessions

**5. Solution**

It provides an easy interface of website for students to find information easily &  
study material given in a systematic format.  
Iqracrypto is a perfect platform and provides various educational solutions for  
an affordable fee.

**6. Product Features**  
•Courses in Arabic  
•Assessments and Quizzes  
•Recognized Certificates  
•One on one Sessions  
•Live Sessions  
•Incubator

**7. Validation**

Users of niche brands seek a distinctive mix of benefits that are either greater or less than the average needs fulfilled by the large brands in the market.  
Adding to that, the Spanish platform Bit2Me saw a very wide success by being the first Elearning platform in Spanish, it is currently expanding to Italy.  
Bit2Me market size is slightly bigger than IqraCrypto.

**8. Progress**  
Please note IqraCrypto did not launch yet!  
• Operational platform (With Dashboard)  
• 6 Courses fully recorded in Arabic  
• 3 Crypto Guides
