Ziina is on a mission to bring financial freedom to every person in the Middle East, and we’re privileged to work with world-class mentors across design, growth, and engineering to make this happen.

Our mentors have honed their skills at Square, Uber, Cruise, Instagram, Lyft, and Revolut. They’ve built products that changed the world—and have the scar tissue to prove it.

For one hour a month, our mentors conduct design, growth, and engineering reviews to help us 10x our product. We’re eager to learn what has worked in their experience, but more importantly what hasn’t worked and why.

In product, the magic really is in the details, and they help us bring this magic to life ✨

A big thank you to our Ziina mentors!
