Mission
I'm Tex Bénèche — a solo technical founder building under Rizq Labs AI LLC, a halal AI company based in Kissimmee, Florida.
I build software, platforms, books, music, and systems designed to serve Muslim communities in the AI era.
I currently have:
I don't build for attention. I build because I believe Muslims need technological sovereignty in the AI age.
I have a criminal record.
I'm not hiding it. I'm putting it here on the front page.
This isn't performative transparency — it's reality.
I came from a difficult background, made serious mistakes, and paid for them. Now I'm focused on building things that outlive me.
I'm currently in the process of filing a pro se motion for early termination of felony probation in Florida.
My past is part of my story — but it does not define the future I'm building.
Most people launch one startup. I'm building an entire ecosystem.
Under Rizq Labs, I'm developing multiple ventures designed to solve real problems in Muslim communities:
NurGuard
A halal internet filtering and digital discipline platform.
The Hajj App
A structured, Sharia-compliant system that helps Muslims save and prepare for Hajj.
TasnidChain
A decentralized knowledge verification protocol inspired by classical Islamic chain-of-transmission scholarship.
Masajid Builder
A global infrastructure project focused on mapping, funding, and building mosques worldwide.
These are not isolated startups. They are pieces of a larger vision.

The world is entering the AI age.
Most technology companies are building systems designed to extract attention and profit from communities. I'm building the opposite.
Rizq Labs exists to create community-aligned technology — systems that strengthen families, institutions, and faith instead of eroding them.
Halal technology.
Ethical infrastructure.
Digital tools designed to serve communities instead of exploiting them.
TexBeneche.com is where I release everything I create. Music. Books. Speeches. Ideas. Software.
But this isn't a typical creator platform.
It's a network-driven commerce engine. Every user can become a distributor through the 30% lifetime affiliate program, turning the audience into a decentralized distribution network.
Instead of chasing algorithms, the platform grows through people.
I'm not trying to become an influencer.
I'm trying to build infrastructure that matters 50 years from now.
If you're here, you're early. Welcome to the journey.
Open roles, partnerships, investment opportunities, and press inquiries across all ventures.
