Back to Mahber

Our community deserves
better than scattered Facebook groups.

Mahber is the all-in-one platform for the Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali diaspora. Built in Seattle by a first-generation Habesha developer who grew up watching our community struggle with fragmented tools and disconnected resources.

Our Mission

To unite the Habesha diaspora through technology — providing a single, beautiful platform for jobs, housing, events, marketplace, dating, remittance, and community connection. We believe that when our community has the right tools, incredible things happen.

Our Vision

To become the definitive digital home for over 5 million Habesha diaspora members worldwide. A platform so essential that every Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali abroad considers it their first stop for anything community-related.

What We Believe

Community First

Every feature is built with our community in mind. We listen, we iterate, we serve.

Diaspora Connected

Whether you are in Seattle, DC, or Addis, Mahber keeps you plugged in.

Built Different

No more scattered Facebook groups. One platform, every need, beautifully integrated.

By Us, For Us

Founded by a first-gen Habesha developer who lived the problem.

The Team

ET

Eyob Tesfayohanes

Founder & CEO

First-generation US-born Eritrean. Grew up in Seattle watching the Habesha community rely on word-of-mouth and Facebook groups for everything from finding apartments to sending money home. Built Mahber to change that.

Advisory Board

Coming Soon

We are assembling an advisory board of diaspora entrepreneurs, community leaders, and tech veterans. Interested? Get in touch.

The Story

If you have ever been part of the Habesha diaspora in America, you know the drill. Need a roommate? Check the local Ethiopian Facebook group. Looking for a job? Ask around at the next church gathering. Want to send money to family back home? Pay insane fees through legacy transfer services.

For a community of over 2 million people in the US alone — representing billions in economic activity — we have been stuck using tools that were never built for us. Facebook groups with no search, no verification, no trust signals. Dating apps where nobody understands why you can't bring a non-Habesha person to your grandmother's house.

Mahber changes everything. It is the super app our community deserves — jobs, housing, events, marketplace, dating, remittance, immigration resources, and community forums, all in one platform built specifically for us, by us.

We are not just building an app. We are building the digital infrastructure for the entire Habesha diaspora.
