The Needs
At Uzeem, we are constantly searching for captivating topics and events to create zeems for our visitors to explore. However, we acknowledge that we cannot, and should not, accomplish this alone as history belongs to all of us. Therefore, as we open the doors, we welcome unbiased curators who value honesty and impartiality, and possess an interest in diverse subjects such as history, fashion, pop culture, politics, sports, and more. This is just the start of our company's journey, and we are thrilled to welcome enthusiastic individuals to be a part of it.

The Choices
It was difficult to decide what to showcase first, but prioritizing upcoming events and creating a dedicated zeem for the 'US Elections,' made sense. Even though voting day was still far away, we believed that providing context as early as possible was an essential part of our responsibility and the reason why we started this platform in the first place. As we started to create it, we made 'The Oscars', 'Elton John', 'Barbie', 'Met Gala', 'Super Bowls', and 'AI' available.

The Process
It took over two years to develop the beta version and finalize the first zeems before launching it to the public. Uzeem was officially established in December 2023. The launch of a company brought about a mix of excitement and pressure. We knew we would be utterly vulnerable once we ignited the fire. It was scary, but we deemed it necessary enough to take the risk.

The Birth
The Covid pandemic reignited our commitment to delivering reliable and vetted information!

The Push
It all started in 2016 during the 2016 U.S. Presidential Elections. As we watched the race for the highest leadership position in the world unfold, we recognized the need to contribute to restoring objectivity, trust, and impartiality in public discourse. We found the idea of an "alternative reality" to insult people's intelligence.
