Q&A WITH ARMIN MORADI, CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND CO-FOUNDER

Q

Where do you see the company five years from now?

A

We believe we will see huge growth and we aim to expand to all of Mena, with a portfolio of solutions and features that help with the digital transformation of financial operations for businesses of all sizes.

What’s your biggest learning?

Bring the right people on at the start to help with execution and utilise your network. People are generally very helpful if they believe in what you’re building.

If you start over, what would you change?

Focus more on executing rather than planning for perfection.

What advice would you give to upcoming entrepreneurs?

Be disciplined and execute systematically and pragmatically. Be prepared to overcome obstacles, and always be humble. Learn from other’s mistakes as this, often, is a shortcut that helps you save a lot of time. Don’t get distracted about everything else that’s going on around, you can’t do everything and be everywhere at once. Set goals and objectives and make sure they get done by hook or by crook.

What skills have you learnt from setting up your business?

Discipline and perseverance to start with, but also ensure the team you hire early on not only believe in your vision but will also contribute to make it better.
