Work with me

Hundreds of MENA SaaS founders have arrived stuck. Most left with one thing to do next.

Fifteen years running SaaS operations in this region, ten of them advising the founders building it. Five ways in, in order of how much of me each one involves.

Who this is for, and who it is not

Is this you?

  • You are building SaaS in MENA — still validating, or well past it. Both are welcome; the advice changes, the welcome does not.
  • You have a constraint you can feel and cannot name.
  • You can make a decision without assembling a committee to approve it.
  • You want a second operator in the room for a defined period, not a deck at the end of one.

This is not for you if…

  • You want a report that justifies a decision you have already made.
  • You need a full-time operator. A fractional advisor is not a cheaper version of a hire.
  • You want an open-ended relationship with no defined problem and no end date.

Five ways to work together

Not sure which? It is the first one. An hour is the cheapest way to find out whether any of the others are worth your money.

    SaaS Clarity Call

    One paid hour on the constraint actually holding you back. You send your numbers first, and you leave with a written action plan — the constraint named, and the two or three moves to make next.

A qualifying form, not a contact box. The more specific you are about the constraint, the more specific my reply. It comes straight to me, and I answer it myself.

One or two sentences. Be specific — vague enquiries get vague answers.
