For investors
Build the digital infrastructure for the Muslim world with us
PT Eko Vitaris International and SBDI laid the foundation. Muslim United is now being extended and run by students in Indonesia and other countries, together with Islamic experts and companies around the world. The beta is running, and we are in conversation with strategic investors for the launch phase. Request investor info and we will take it from there, in private.
Investor information is shared privately. Investment in PT Eko Vitaris International is only discussed in private conversation; this page is not an offer or invitation to buy securities and not a public offering.

Market context

These figures are market context only. They imply no valuation of MU and no forecast of MU's users or revenue.
