The Ali Kavousi Experience

Everyone documents success, but no one talks about the struggle. I’m Ali Kavousi, and this is my real, unfiltered journey of building a startup from nothing. No investors, no budget, just execution. I came from Iran, started in Greece, and built a B2B2C hospitality tech platform that expanded to four countries—Greece, UAE, Hungary, USA—partnering with 1,500+ high-end merchants. Nobody believed in my idea, but I bootstrapped, reinvested every dollar, and played my own game. No fluff, just raw execution, lessons, and the reality of being a founder.

Hiring & Firing in Early-Stage Startups (Real Talk)

Hiring & Firing in Early-Stage Startups (Real Talk)

In the early days of a startup, hiring feels exciting—but it can become your biggest mistake. No budget. No brand. No structure. And yet you need people. But who do you hire when you can’t afford A-players? How do you fire fast when it’s not working? And why do most early hires end up killing your momentum?

In this raw episode, I break down:

  • How I hired and fired in the early days

  • Why most resumes mean nothing

  • Interns, hustlers, and finding people who believe

  • Why you, the founder, MUST train every role early on

If you're building from Day 1, this is the blueprint I wish I had.
