While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

We had the distinct pleasure of working with Sheeza for the past several years at Zebras Unite. Sheeza is an experienced polymath who brings the full force of her experience, insight, and empathy to bear on any organisation she works with. Her contributions to us are too numerous to expand on fully here, but most notably:
- She brought incredible rigour to our operational systems, including procedures, policies, protocols, and personnel resources to ensure operational and financial sustainability and a workplace where our team could thrive.
- She worked extensively in expanding our global partnerships and relationships, closing over 50 partners from the alternative business ecosystem to expand our community and diversify our revenue streams.
- She designed and launched the Zebra Solidarity fund, a member-led resource pool inspired by the Islamic Zakat framework of a 2.5% wealth tax that benefited over a dozen of our members.
I cannot stress enough how pivotal Sheeza has been to the growth and wellbeing of this organisation. I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside her again in the future.
I was very happy with my experience of UpEffect and it was a really useful platform for getting our campaign started. Thank you
Crowdfunding with UpEffect was a tremendous experience for our small organization. Not only was our campaign a success thanks to their unique approach to crowdfunding, but we learned a tremendous amount from the UpEffect team and their impressive skills and knowledge that will serve us for years to come. We are incredibly grateful that our relationship with UpEffect did not end when the campaign met its goal. Ultimately, in UpEffect, we have found a group of like minded individuals committed to our organization's ongoing growth and success.
