For ambitious professionals watching the rise of AI, the question isn't whether change is coming—it's whether they'll participate or sit on the sidelines.
Fortunately, Ummah Accelerator's new Accelerated Agency Track bridges that gap by allowing beginners to plug into a real operating AI agency, gain deal exposure, and build credibility before going fully independent. Founded by Zaurbek Stark, Ummah Accelerator, formerly known as the Codebender Incubator, strives to level the playing field and give local people in their community an edge in cutting through the clutter of the modern market.
Who Is Zaurbek Stark?
Zaurbek is an entrepreneur who began his career as a senior software engineer at a high-growth startup in New York City, with offices atop the Empire State Building. It was a six-figure role in a competitive tech environment, surrounded by top-tier engineers and operators. However, in 2024, Zaurbek left that position to focus on building an AI agency specializing in automation, AI agents, and custom AI systems for small and mid-sized businesses.
This transition marked the start of his solo venture, as Zaurbek handled sales and fulfillment himself. By the end of the first year, he had hired 8 devs and was actively expanding. He built offers, closed clients, managed developers, and delivered AI solutions, laying the foundation for the Ummah Accelerator.
Inspiration Behind the Innovation
Zaurbek saw the AI revolution unfolding and realized that it had the potential to be a huge opportunity. Seeing similarities between the internet boom of the 2000s and the social media boom of the 2010s, he believed it was time to go all-in on this new technological development before it was too late. Zaurbek used AI to launch his own AI agency, which he grew from 0 to $11,000 in his first month in business. His offer is simple: he helps SMBs grow their revenue and reduce costs by automating repetitive tasks using AI.
As he watched AI revolutionize things right outside his office, Zaurbek kept having the same nagging thought: "One day, my children might ask me, 'Dad, what did you do during the AI revolution?' I didn't want my answer to be, 'I watched it happen.'"
A Community-Driven Movement
As Zaurbek was growing his company, more and more people around him were asking him for tips on how to start a similar business. Zaurbek was driven by a desire to help Muslim entrepreneurs better adapt to the modern business marketplace. Many people he knew directly were struggling at work and seemed to have lost confidence in their future. Thus, his work became not only for himself but also for the betterment of his community. Through this, he found a unique kind of fulfillment in helping a Muslim raise funds to support family, create jobs, and change the trajectory of their lives.
The Ummah Accelerator Difference
Most programs sell information, but Ummah Accelerator builds operators. The company integrates education with real-world execution. Once members complete the foundation track, they qualify for the Accelerated Agency Track, where they can:
- Join real sales calls
- Observe backend systems in Slack
- Access real case studies
- Partner on live deals
Building a Better Way: AI Business for Professionals
Today, Zaurbek and Ummah Accelerator have built a strong following, attracting more than 100K followers across socials (YouTube and LinkedIn). Over 100 students have enrolled, and the program's coaches have collectively generated millions in revenue and conducted over 200 coaching calls.
Looking ahead, the company is launching Version 2.0 of the Accelerated Agency Track, which allows students to leverage the company's AI agency case studies once they become partners. Zaurbek's goal is to help members create 1,000 AI businesses by 2030.
