SaaS operations & transformation

I know SaaS. Let me help.

I'm Mohamed Elsherif, a SaaS operations and transformation advisor and the founder of ASaaSI Middle East. I've spent fifteen years running SaaS operations across MENA, from the inside.

The work, in numbers

3,000+
participants trained in the past 10 years
250+
founders advised one to one
156+
startups
6
countries across MENA

These come from ten years of cohorts, workshops and one-to-one sessions, done alongside my operating roles.

What participants say

  • What I gained from this course goes beyond information. I acquired new skills, joined a lifelong community, and had the opportunity to engage in meaningful and open business discussions.

    Shahd Mohamed
  • The course was very insightful and changed my perspective about a lot of aspects when it comes to validation and founder–market fit. The Coach prompts are amazing to help you and challenge you to refine the idea and the statements needed to make things straight.

    Omar Youssef
  • Don’t be over optimistic about your idea, it might just be more of a burden than an actual money maker! Mr. Mohamed will challenge your idea for you, but you’ll have to defend it yourself! If you really want to go to the founders circle and live that messy life, FIGHT. Thanks Mr. Mohamed Elsherif for providing me with the knowledge, tools, awareness and POWER to move on.

Two careers at once

I've had two careers running side by side.

Fifteen years building B2B SaaS inside larger companies expanding into MENA (Singapore, Cairo, Dubai, Riyadh), and ten of those years teaching and advising founders building from scratch, in accelerators, incubators and universities across six countries. Seeing both sides is why ASaaSI Middle East exists. Big companies have the budget and the process, founders have the vision and the speed, and each is missing what the other has. I know how SaaS actually works in this region, and I want to pass that on to the people building here.
