About
Founder-led, embedded, and focused on one thing. We optimize the businesses that already exist, and we build the ones that do not yet. Always ahead of the problem.
Origin
Xyric was founded in 2020 by Hamza Muqeem and Omer Iftikhar Ahmed, two friends who kept running into the same problem from opposite ends. Hamza saw it from inside data teams at P&G, YC-backed startups, and DAMAC: companies sitting on goldmines of data while making decisions on gut feel. Omer saw it from the other side of the table, as an entrepreneur and investor evaluating businesses that could not explain what their own numbers meant.
The gap was the same everywhere, and almost nobody was closing it by actually building. So they started Xyric to do exactly that: one owning the how, the other the why. After 8+ years across 5+ industries, the mission has not changed: turn data into decisions, and stay ahead of the problem.
