For all startups, I would like to offer my help
Story
If you are a startup founder, and by startup I mean even a traditional business not necessarily an entrepreneurial,
still paving your way and everything looks confusing?
limited budget?
limited experience?
or even you are someone who has an idea but is afraid to take the first step?
looking for advise or support but doors are slapping in your face?
I would like to offer my help.
Just before anything, I lived your life, still living it, made a lot of failures, lost millions in dollars, faced lawsuits, got doubted by everyone...
Still being doubted,
Still facing loses,
and still failing everyday and finding my own way,
but I still get up in the morning hoping one day I can make it, what I am trying to say I am not acting that I know everything or that I already made it at the top, but I in the mid-way, 9 years in this mess and still counting....
I am not a known face on social media, so I guess you might be doubting that I even have the skills or experience, I am only available publicly on linkedIn, and I only post whenever I feel I need to share something, I believe I have my own reputation in the markets I operate in, good ones I hope, and for you to know who I am Ahmed A. Hammad, I manage 4 businesses in 4 different sectors, each with different efforts and time dedicated
01 ELECTRONICS - Power Solutions since 2006, family inherited, collapsed during the economic collapse of Egypt in 2022, and we are getting it back on track nowadays, now expanding in UAE, KSA and Oman soon Ensha'Allah
ENERGZ - Oil & Gas, started in 2023 as agent for imported car lubricants brand, pivoted multiple times, lost millions, and re-modelling now to something great, stay tuned
TECHNIA - Tech since 2024, Business Management Tools (ERPs), started with a 6 product portfolio, now is 20+ products, launching 2 marketplaces soon, and cool AI products are also scheduled for 2027, stay tuned for cool things
NUKHBA - Fashion since 2026, Introducing a new concept, not targeting the trending "local brands" concept, still in R&D phase, launching mid 2027 Ensha'Allah, wish us luck
Today, I decided I want to take a step to giving back to the younger ones, or even the older ones who haven't passed through what I already passed with, so if you feel you are in the dark, everyone is telling you to quit, you are a failure, you are wasting time, PLEASE DON'T LISTEN, but accept that you my need to pivot, or even change the whole thing, JUST KEEP GOING.
Anyways, what I am offering
1- Free one-to-one consultations for founders who started, wants to start or even operating and feel confused, I can help you with
a. Building the business model, looking into sales, marketing and financial plans
b. Building the brand, brand management (not design), and trust me this is most important part we Egyptians are missing, we have the technical part, maybe the business, but brand knowledge, nearly zero, and this is what makes the difference
c. Management, how to manage the team, when to and not look for hiring, how to fire yourself from tasks and when replacement is the right move and when to be planned (and trust me, I learn a lot everyday about this and still haven't got to the end of it)
2- Free to discounted charges for all our TECHNIA tools to help you manage your businesses, whatever your business is, whatever team or department you want to digitalize / track, we can help you, but with a real thing, a real ERP built with todays international standards and business models.
3- Connections, recommendations & resources, to anyone and anything I can help with, but to be honest, I will only recommend you when I see you are ready for it
I am truly doing this as part of giving back, I hope I can be beneficial and can add hope to people in doubt or facing hard-times, because I had been there, but with a lot more pressure than just being afraid to fail,
pressure of debt,
seeing the family legacy falling,
partnerships that failed,
employees doubting you and your brand,
customers and suppliers running away from you,
people who trusted you and you let them down,
And in the darkest times, only very few who still gave me chances, people I barely knew, and to those, I will always be grateful, so this is me trying to do the same, because I know how it feels when it gets cold
