About Shaghafna

What is Shaghafna?

An Arab platform that brings together founders, investors, job seekers and companies. It shows projects and talent profiles, and the two sides talk directly.

Is signing up free?

Yes. Signing up, browsing and sending offers are free. Publishing a talent profile is free, and publishing a project is free for 30 days, once per account.

Does the platform take a commission?

No. Shaghafna takes no commission from projects or on any deal, and never holds investment money. You pay only for platform services, such as publishing a project.

Can one account do more than one thing?

Yes. Your account can be a founder, a job seeker, an investor and an employer together, and you can add a role at any time.

Projects

How do I post my project?

You write your project, save it as a draft, then publish it and it goes live at once. The first 30 days are free for your first project, then one payment keeps it published with no time limit.

What happens after 30 days?

The project is archived automatically and isn't deleted, and we remind you a week and a day before the period ends. The archive is never deleted automatically, and one payment publishes it again.

Can I archive or delete my project?

Yes. The archive is never deleted automatically, and you can restore your project from it while its 30 days are still running, and after that with one payment. If you delete it, you can undo that within 30 days. Any open offer on your project closes when you archive or delete it.

Offers and hiring

What happens when an investment offer is accepted?

Both sides see each other's name, email, phone and company if any, and carry on directly. Accepting only opens contact and isn't a financial commitment, and the platform takes no part in the deal.

How long does an offer wait for a reply?

An offer ends after 30 days with no reply. After a decline, a cancel, a revoke or an expiry, there is a waiting period before a new offer to the same party.

How does my company hire on Shaghafna?

Turn on "I'm hiring for my company" and enter the company name, then search the talent directory and send a job offer to whoever fits. Contact details show once they accept.

How do I find a job?

Turn on "I'm looking for a job", then create your talent profile and publish it for free. It shows in the directory and companies send you job offers.

Account and safety

Does the platform verify users?

Not yet. So check who you are dealing with before any agreement, and never send money to anyone who claims to be from Shaghafna.

How do I report fraud?

Use "Report" on the project, profile or offer page. The other side won't know who reported.

I didn't get the confirmation code. What do I do?

Check your spam folder, then ask for a new code after a minute. The code is valid for 10 minutes.

Can I download my data?

Yes. You can download a copy of your data from your profile, even after asking to delete your account.

How do I delete my account?

From your profile. The account is scheduled for deletion, and you can cancel before the period ends.
