Mohammed Abdullah Younis YOUNIS
FODWA Founder and CEO
My name is Mohammed Abdullah Younis Younis, the Founder and CEO of FODWA — a next-generation e-commerce platform born out of vision, resilience, and a deep desire to build a digital ecosystem that connects people, products, and opportunities
FODWA is not just another marketplace. It’s a Super App designed to integrate multiple markets — from new products to used goods, real estate, cars, hotels, and even a unique For Free market — all under one platform, tailored to serve communities with simplicity, innovation, and impact
I started this journey alone, learning design and coding from scratch. But my ambition has always been global
We plan to launch FODWA first in Iraq or Saudi Arabia, then expand to the United States within the next three years, and after that to Europe and the rest of the world
Why the U.S.? Because we believe our model has the power to compete, adapt, and thrive on the world’s biggest digital stage
This is just the beginning
FODWA is a global movement — built in the Middle East, designed for the world
If you believe in innovation that rises from the ground up, and in building something truly transformational, then FODWA is where the future begins
