Hi! I started a YouTube channel to support startup founders more and advocate entrepreneurship 🚀

A New Chapter in My Journey

For nearly 20 years, yes since middle school times, I’ve been immersed in the startup ecosystem, working closely with founders, investors, and supporters to help bring ideas to life and scale impactful businesses. My mission has always been clear: supporting entrepreneurs and the people who help them succeed.



While I’ve spoken at countless startup events, investment panels, and mentorship sessions, I realized that I needed a personal corner—a space where I could freely share my thoughts, experiences, and insights without the constraints of structured events or limited speaking slots.


That’s why I finally decided to start this YouTube channel. And if you’re reading this, you’re witnessing the very beginning of this journey.


Why YouTube? Why Now?

I’ve written and published many things online, but I had never really created YouTube-native content before. To be honest, I always wanted to start, but like many founders, I overthought the process—a classic case of perfectionism holding me back.

So, I challenged myself and my team: Let’s start. No over-planning. Just raw, valuable content. The goal is to publish one to two videos per week and see where this journey takes us.


What You Can Expect

This channel isn’t just about me—it’s about you, fellow entrepreneurs, investors, and startup ecosystem supporters. I’ll be covering a wide range of topics, including:


🔹 The Early-Stage Startup Journey

  • Finding problems worth solving

  • Validating startup ideas quickly

  • Understanding your market, customers, and partners

  • Building a venture from scratch

  • Fundraising, bootstrapping, and financial strategy


🔹 The Founder’s Experience

  • The personal challenges of being an entrepreneur

  • Dealing with uncertainty and risk

  • Leadership and team building

  • Scaling a startup efficiently


🔹 The Power of Collaboration & Partnerships

One of the key topics I’ll cover is how partnerships and collaborations help startups grow—something we actively work on at Openfor.co. Strategic partnerships can be game-changers for startup validation, distribution, operations, and scalability, and I want to share real, practical strategies for leveraging them effectively.


🔹 Supporting the Startup Ecosystem

Beyond startups themselves, I also want to address the importance of ecosystem-building—advocating for entrepreneurship, resource distribution, and community-building, and why supporting early-stage startups matters for everyone, whether they are investors, corporates, or policymakers.


A Call for Collaboration & Feedback

I want this channel and blog to be a two-way conversation. If you’re a founder, investor, or someone working within the startup ecosystem, I’d love to hear from you!

  • What startup challenges are you facing?

  • What topics would you like me to cover?

  • Is there a specific issue in the startup world that’s on your mind?

Drop a comment here or on my YouTube video, and let’s build something valuable and impactful together.


Final Thoughts

Starting this YouTube channel wasn’t easy—like any founder, I have a lot on my plate—but I believe in scalable communication. This platform gives me a way to help more entrepreneurs, share insights, and foster real conversations.

This is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see where it leads! Thanks for being part of this journey. 🚀
