Tarik khribech
CEO/Founder of Allbetter
Allbetter was born out of passion, innovation, and irritation. Founder Tarik Khribech was born in Morocco and migrated to the USA. He soon finished his Master’s degree in Computer Science and began working for Fortune 100 companies. Years of launching innovative businesses with growing success fueled Tarik’s fire for measurable, positive results. But as an immigrant, he saw first-hand the frustration of small business life, especially during the recent pandemic. Irritation grew while using the available apps for homeowners and contractors, and an idea, a deep, long-term vision, and a solution were born. Now entering its third year, allbetter has attracted a world-class team of visionaries, business and brand strategists, technology and app experts, and more, all dedicated to make the contractor and homeowner industry better, make small business better, make busy homeowners feel better, and this world, well…you know.
