Pitfalls of First-time Saas Founders with Ahmed Mohsen
#199 – 14 December 2023 – Season 3 – Episode 21
Ahmed Mohsen is a tech and design enthusiast who started his journey during high school as a web hosting reseller & web designer. Following graduation he started a career in media production, serving as an animation artist and post-producer for 12 years.
Making a pivotal career shift, Ahmed transitioned from service-oriented business to crafting SaaS products and built two SaaS products independently before joining Dstny Engage as a senior product manager to contribute to exciting AI-driven products.
In addition to his role, Ahmed is eager to support first-time SaaS founders in his community.
In this episode, Ahmed is sharing common pitfalls first-time SaaS Founders should be aware of, which are caused by focusing too much on…
- Idea over problem
- Code over customer
- Revenue over validation
- Scaling over simplicity
- Investors over users
- Market over channel
- Lazy over love
- Use case over everyone
