Letter From
The Founder

Meet our team
Hey Everyone -
I am Jihad, CEO here at Cultrahub.
We are at the beginning of a new era in the digital economy: Social Commerce.

‍In past decades, platform business models like Amazon upended traditional retail by creating a global connected ecosystem of producers and consumers. Endless retail possibilities created a disconnect: a shopping experience severed from our communities, local entrepreneurs, and recommendations from friends and families. Social media platforms changed the DNA of how we connect and discover online, but shopping platforms simply haven’t kept up.

Today, these platforms are ripe for disruption. We have been working diligently to examine the business models of existing platforms, identify users pain points, and design new ways for users to create and exchange value with the next big platform. We believe that we can build a scalable platform business model by combining social networking and marketplace commerce into a seamless value creation experience.

Our focus on culture and representation solves a huge problem for producers and consumers looking to connect and find their people and market their products. Cultural groups and small businesses who don’t receive the visibility or recognition they deserve will have a platform they can call home.

Integrating social features and virality with built-in marketplace transactions creates more visibility for sellers and products and offers new ways for users to monetize. We are excited to bring this concept to life and revolutionize the way people socialize, sell, and shop.

Leading this brand, I have extensive training in business management, branding, entrepreneurship, cultural studies, and digital business transformation that informs our business strategy.
My background includes a post-graduate diploma in Digital Business from MIT and Columbia University, a Bachelor's degree from Indiana University, two associate degrees from Ball State University, a certification from MIT Professional Education for Digital Platforms: Designing two-sided Markets from APIs to Feature Roadmaps, a verified certification from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business for Platform Strategies for Business, and a certification from MIT Sloan School of Management/Emeritus Institute of Management for Digital Transformation: Platform Strategies for Success.

I invite you to join us in building the wave of social commerce as we change the way people sell and shop.

Sincerely,
Jihad R. Taylor

The Emergence
of Social Commerce.

Marketplaces are Beginning to Integrate Social Features.
That allows sellers and influencers to better engage customers and build a following.

Social
Commerce.

Social commerce is growing at a CAGR of 26% and is expected to hit $1.2 trillion— 16.7% of the total ecommerce market— in 2026.

No apps effectively combine the engagement of social media and the ecommerce functionality of marketplace platforms. Cultrahub aims to fill this gap.
