One company. Practical software for families, classrooms, and everyday money.
Qorshe Labs is a Minnesota technology company building a small family of focused products: a family development and management platform, a Grades 5–8 math platform built around honest diagnostics and Minnesota MCA readiness, and a library of Somali-first books and courses.
Straight talk: our products are in active development. Every page on this site labels what exists today, what is being built, and what is still planned — no inflated claims, ever.

Qorshe Learn
Grades 5–8 math · Minnesota MCA prep
An education platform that starts by finding out what a student actually knows. A diagnostic maps strengths and missing prerequisites, then builds a personal path toward grade-level proficiency and MCA readiness — with teacher dashboards and original, standards-aligned practice.

Silicon
A personal wealth-building system
Silicon is a private, single-household system for organizing money, tracking goals, and building wealth with discipline — including Sharia-aware investing principles. It is not a public product, and no financial data is ever shown or offered here.

Books & Courses
Somali-first learning materials
Books and courses written for Somali-speaking learners and families: a practical money guide, a bilingual Minnesota driver's license prep book, and a Somali Tajweed book — written in plain language, with vocabulary support in every lesson.

The domain qorshelabs.com was registered on October 31, 2026, and this website is being deployed to it now via Cloudflare. The product addresses below are reserved under the same domain and open as each product reaches its launch stage — we will not publish a login page before the product behind it is real.
How we build
Three commitments shape every product we ship.
Honest status, always
We label what is built, what is being built, and what is still an idea. We do not publish customer counts, revenue, or partnerships we do not have — and as a young company, we would rather earn trust slowly than claim it early.
Privacy is a feature
Family plans, student records, and household finances are sensitive by nature. Our products are designed around private-by-default spaces, clear visibility controls, and — for education — FERPA and COPPA awareness from the first line of design, not as an afterthought.
Built for our community
Our founder teaches middle-school math in Minneapolis. Our materials speak English, Somali, and Spanish, use plain language, and solve problems we have seen first-hand — in classrooms, in daycare programs, and at kitchen tables.
Where things stand
The build sequence we are following, in the open.
Stage 1 · Complete
Company audit & blueprint
Every existing project reviewed; product identities, architecture, and priorities set down in a master blueprint before new building began.
Stage 2 · You are here
Company website
Brand identity, this website, and professional product pages — the central gateway to everything Qorshe Labs makes.
Stage 3 · Next
Product architecture
Accounts, databases, and shared services organized so each product can launch independently on its own subdomain.
Stage 4
Product development
Qorshe family spaces first, then the Learn diagnostic and walkthrough system, piloted in real classrooms before any wider release.
Stage 5
Commercial readiness
Pricing, demonstrations, and onboarding — set per product, only once the product genuinely works.
Stage 6
Testing & launch
Full workflow, mobile, security, and performance testing before each product opens to the public.
New here? Start with the product closest to launch.
Books and courses are furthest along, and the Learn diagnostic is our top build priority. Take the tour and see exactly where each one stands.

Qorshe — a development system for the whole household
Qorshe is not another family calendar. It is a shared system for how a family plans, grows, and follows through: goals for each person, tasks that connect to those goals, and a clear picture of progress — with the same engine serving classrooms and daycare programs.
Product home: app.qorshelabs.com · Opens when the family pilot begins
Five spaces, one system
Each space is its own world with its own members and privacy — connected only where a family chooses to connect them.
Personal
Your own goals, habits, and plans — visible to you alone unless you choose to share a status.
Family
Household coordination: shared goals, children's progress, routines, and the plans a family makes together.
Classroom
For teachers: class goals, assignments, and home communication in English, Somali, and Spanish — with an audit trail schools can rely on.
Daycare
Built for after-school programs of around thirty children: fixed groups, rotating helper roles, homework time, and privilege-based rewards that are positive-only.
Business
A space for the projects and small businesses that grow out of family goals — plans, milestones, and follow-through.
Goals engine
Every space runs on the same engine: set a goal, break it into steps, get reminded at the right moments, and review progress weekly and monthly.
Where Qorshe is today
Design complete. The full system design — spaces, goals engine, daycare module, privacy model, and trilingual surfaces — is written and approved.
Interactive prototype built. All eleven core views exist as a working prototype and have been click-tested end to end.
Not yet a live service. Real accounts, a real database, and public sign-up do not exist yet. The prototype uses demonstration data only.
Privacy, designed in
Three visibility levels for every item: Private, Status-only (the default), and Shared.
No hidden monitoring of children. Parents see their own child's information — never rankings of other children.
No ads, no data sale, ever. Export and delete rights are part of the design, along with consent in English, Somali, and Spanish.
What happens next
Qorshe launches in stages: first with our own family as real users, then classroom and daycare pilots, then public subscriptions. Each workspace will be independently administered and isolated. There is no sign-up list yet — this page will say so plainly when one opens.

Math practice that starts where the student actually is
Most practice software assumes a student is working at their enrolled grade level. Qorshe Learn does not. Its diagnostic finds each student's real level — strengths, gaps, and missing prerequisites — then walks them step by step toward grade-level proficiency and Minnesota MCA readiness.
Product home: learn.qorshelabs.com · Classroom pilot before public release
How the diagnostic walkthrough works
The flagship of the platform, in four steps.
Step 1
Diagnose
A short adaptive assessment across Grades 5–8 topics, with every question tied to a specific Minnesota math standard and learning objective.
Step 2
Map the gaps
The platform identifies missing prerequisite skills — the earlier-grade foundations a student needs before grade-level work can stick.
Step 3
Walk the path
A personal learning path sequences practice from the student's real level upward, with worked examples and feedback that names the exact misconception behind a wrong answer.
Step 4
Reassess & adapt
Progress is re-checked continuously. The path adjusts, and teachers see class and student analytics with intervention recommendations.
Built for students, teachers, and schools
Original MCA-style items
Every question is written independently to Minnesota Department of Education specifications and real MCA formats — multiple choice, select-all, ordering, and type-in. Secure test items are never reproduced.
Three practice modes
Learn mode with worked solutions, Drill mode for fluency, and Exam mode under test conditions — so MCA format becomes familiar in daily work, not a surprise in spring.
Teacher dashboards
Class and student management, assignments and quizzes, performance analytics, and printable reports for conferences and intervention planning.
Differentiation built in
Practice is generated at each student's level — the same topic at Foundations, Building, and Pass Path depth — so one assignment serves a whole mixed-readiness class.
Parent visibility
Parents see their own child's progress and MCA readiness in plain language, in English, Somali, or Spanish.
Student privacy
Designed with FERPA and COPPA in mind: minimal student data, school-controlled accounts, and no advertising or data sale — ever.
Where Learn is today
Design complete. The practice and diagnostic system design — item model, modes, misconception feedback — is fully specified.
Content already in classrooms. Original item banks and differentiated worksheets built on this design are in real use in Grades 6–7 classes today, in print form.
The software is not live yet. The interactive diagnostic platform is in development. It will be piloted in our founder's own classes before any school is offered access.
Who it is for
Students in Grades 5–8 who deserve practice at their level, not their label.
Teachers who need MCA-honest data — which students are on a pass path, who is building, who needs foundations — without another disconnected tool.
Schools serving multilingual families, where home communication in Somali and Spanish is a requirement, not a bonus.

Silicon — a wealth system that stays private
Silicon is the personal wealth-building system used inside Qorshe Labs' founding household. This page explains how it works as a matter of company transparency. It does not offer access, sign-ups, financial data, or financial advice — by design, and permanently unless the founder rules otherwise.
Product home: silicon.qorshelabs.com · Description only — no public access
Three engines, in order
Silicon organizes a household's money around a strict sequence: income first, protection second, investing third. No stage is skipped.
1 · Income
Know exactly what comes in, from every source, and what the household genuinely needs each month. Budgets are tested in short, honest cycles — caps are set, tracked daily in about two minutes, and closed weekly and monthly.
2 · Protection
Before any investing: clear expensive debt, then build an emergency fund in principal-safe, FDIC-insured accounts. The system's first milestone is a small emergency shield; the target is a full household cushion.
3 · Halal investing
Long-term investing follows Sharia-aware principles: no interest-based products, no margin, no futures, no speculation. Every decision is made deliberately by the account holder — the system proposes, the person decides.
Rules the system runs on
Capital preservation first. Position sizing and drawdown discipline come before any return target.
A milestone ladder. Progress is measured against defined stages, from first emergency shield to long-term wealth targets — reviewed, not vibes.
Learn while building. A short daily reading habit pairs financial literacy with the discipline the system requires.
The privacy boundary
Silicon's real numbers — balances, positions, debts, and plans — are never published anywhere: not on this site, not on any channel, not in any product screenshot. Public writing about Silicon covers general principles only.
Silicon is also not a financial advisory service. Qorshe Labs offers no investment advice, portfolio management, or regulated financial services, and nothing on this page should be read as a recommendation.
Why describe a product you can't join?
Because Silicon is part of how this company thinks: disciplined, values-led, and honest about money. If it ever becomes a public product, it will be announced here with the same plain status labels as everything else. Until then, this page is the whole public surface — and that is intentional.

Books & courses, Somali-first
Learning materials written for Somali-speaking readers first — not translated as an afterthought. Plain language, bold key terms, worked examples, and a vocabulary section in every lesson: word, pronunciation, meaning, and an example sentence.
MN DMV Prep
Minnesota DMV Prep — Somali · English
Bilingual guide to the Minnesota Class D knowledge test
A complete study guide for the 40-question Class D knowledge test (32 correct to pass), written Somali-first with English alongside: road rules, signs, and the Minnesota-specific details learners miss — including recent law changes on school-bus stop rules and motorcycle lane filtering. A companion signs minibook adds 43 picture questions with a separate answer key. Final steps before release: a native-speaker Somali review and a legal re-check of the DWI sections.
Manuscript completeFinal review in progress
Hagaha Lacagta
Hagaha Lacagta — The Money Guide
Practical money management, in Somali
A Somali-first guide to everyday money: budgeting a household, understanding pay and taxes in the US, avoiding debt traps, and building savings with Sharia-aware options explained plainly. Written from the same material as the Hagaha Lacagta channel — practical business and household finance, with printable worksheets.

Tajwiidka Qur'aanka
Tajwiidka Qur'aanka — Tajweed in Somali
An original Somali textbook of Qur'an recitation rules
An original textbook teaching the rules of Tajweed in Somali, chapter by chapter: the articulation points (makharij) with our own original artwork, simplified and beginner-first, with bold key terms, large verse examples, and summary boxes. All eighteen chapters are drafted; the book is now moving through its final-draft and illustration pass.
In developmentAll chapters drafted
Courses built from these books — including DMV and Tajweed study programs — are planned as part of the Qorshe institutional offering after the classroom pilot. No book is on sale yet; when one is, this page will carry the real purchase link and price, and nothing before.

About Qorshe Labs
Qorshe Labs is a multi-product technology company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “Qorshe” is the Somali word for a plan — and planning, done honestly and followed through, is what every product we build is about.
Who we are
Qorshe Labs was founded by Abdalrahman Hussein, a middle-school mathematics teacher in Minneapolis with a background in electrical engineering and an MBA. The company's products grow directly out of that combined experience: teaching Grades 6–7 math under Minnesota standards, running after-school daycare programs, and building financial discipline for a large household.
That is why our first products are a classroom-and-family platform, an MCA diagnostic system, and Somali-first books: they are the tools our founder needed and could not find.
What we will not do
Invent customers, revenue, partnerships, or traction. We are a young company and we say so.
Sell or advertise against user data — family, student, or financial. Ever.
Call a prototype a product. Statuses on this site mean what they say.
Offer financial advice. Silicon is a private household system, not an advisory service.
How the company will earn
Each product carries its own model, introduced only when the product is ready. No prices are published yet, because nothing is on sale yet.
Qorshe
Family subscriptions, with school and daycare licensing for institutional spaces.
Qorshe Learn
Teacher plans and per-school licensing, priced for the districts and charter schools it is built to serve.
Books & Courses
Direct sales of finished books, with courses to follow — the company's first revenue line.
Contact
Qorshe Labs is in its build phase and is not yet onboarding customers or taking meetings about products that are not live. When a product opens — a pilot, a book release, a sign-up — the announcement and the real contact route will appear on this site first.
