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.
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.
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.
Every feature is built with our community in mind. We listen, we iterate, we serve.
Whether you are in Seattle, DC, or Addis, Mahber keeps you plugged in.
No more scattered Facebook groups. One platform, every need, beautifully integrated.
Founded by a first-gen Habesha developer who lived the problem.
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.
Coming Soon
We are assembling an advisory board of diaspora entrepreneurs, community leaders, and tech veterans. Interested? Get in touch.
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.
Be part of building the future of diaspora tech.
