Building a startup on your own is a challenge – a very big challenge

Let alone if you’re a non-technical founder…

Starting a successful startup venture requires a lot of time and risk-taking. It requires paying less attention to existing predictable wealth-building channels like a business or well-paying job hoping that the startup idea will take off to substitute or complement existing channels while allowing you to make a strong impact in the world.

You could hire the best… BUT

Hiring programmers, a project manager and a marketer will not answer the million dollar question: are people willing to pay and use my product? Plus, hiring and managing team members isn’t as simple as posting a job. Finding, hiring and managing talented people adds another layer of risk especially in the beginning when the idea doesn’t have sufficient validation or proof.

Instead,

What if you could make those major and key investments in response to demand?

What if your ideal users/customers paid you to build the product?

What if you knew if your idea will work soon and before committing a ton of resources?

What if you also knew the best ways to attract users/customers before learning from a $100,000+ mistake while saving months in product development and “launches”?

How I can help

You bring the idea, insights and experience, I draw from a decade of startup experience and a Ph.D. in startup venture initiation to work with you on launching a profitable startup. In addition to building the product (apps), we drive sales, build partnerships and essentially, get involved as if we are co-founders in the startup.

While we are proud to have helped numerous entrepreneurs generate revenue and validate their ideas in as little as a month, what we are most proud of is saving founders hundreds of thousand of dollars in products, we quickly learned, no one cared for and needed.

“Within the time frame of 3 weeks taking clear, focused and consistent action, I was already able to get 4 customers.”

Generate revenue and validate your idea or plan quickly even before building an app

Within 2 weeks, you will have an action plan ready for execution. A plan designed to test the riskiest assumption and provide you with insights about the potential of the idea, ideal customers’ willingness to pay for it and use it, and the next stage of the startup upon sufficient validation for development on a strong foundation with higher success predictability and risk minimization.

Turn a tested idea into a scalable product within 2-3 months of validation

Building software is expensive and there’s no guarantee that the product will solve people’s problems and address their needs as expected or hypothesized. However, having validated your idea and tested the riskiest assumption, it’s time to build with higher certainty. Our team of passionate entrepreneurs with complementary skills will help you turn a validated hypothesis into a scalable product.

“I told Abdo, I have so much on my plate and I can’t manage to start and run a new venture on my own… In just 3 months, we had over two hundred people lined up to use our product.”

Scale your venture without needing to raise a dime in funding (yet!)

In its simplest form, a successful startup launch is about targeting one customer profile (ideal buyer/user) with one marketing channel to solve one big problem exceptionally well. Solving too many problems for different people through different channels will stretch you too thin and while you may see traction, you’ll end up doing OK at many but not exceptionally well on any.

Having identified these three key ingredients of marketing success, we’ll implement a repeatable acquisition process that drives growth around the clock.

Let’s talk business

We’re a perfect match if…

You want a team that can help you build a profitable startup, not just a functional app

We are in the business of building startups. The apps (web and mobile) are the product by which a startup delivers value, but they’re not the only startup success indicator. The proof is in the tens of thousands of apps that look and work great but barely have users, let alone paying customers.

The entrepreneurs we work with think of us as their startup partner who’s responsible for building the right product for the right people while accounting for product marketing, partnership development, and ensuring startup success as a whole business venture.

Your plan is not to “build it and they’ll come”

We failed numerous times as startup founders. Our biggest failures came as a result of using all of our resources to build what we thought we were certain was going to work. We can’t afford wasting your money and time. We want to eventually take pride in having been involved in your successful venture so one of our main responsibilities is to take actions that minimize your risk while increasing your success rates.

You’re looking for guidance to turn your vision into reality

Most of the entrepreneurs we work with are successful professionals or small business owners looking to launch a technology startup to make a bigger impact, generate a profit and become Startup Founders. While the first thing we do is listen closely and learn from your experience and industry insights, the entrepreneurs that work with us seek our own expertise and input to complement theirs. We work with entrepreneurs that respect and consider our insights.
