E63: Ali Halabi on startup failure, pivot and re-birth. An incredible story of resilience

I sat down with Ali Halabi, Founder & CEO of Volt Lines, a Turkish based B2B mobility platform solving for the daily work commute in Istanbul, a city of 15million people that is notorious for its traffic woes. Ali has had a fascinating journey from Lebanon to Turkey and has rubbed shoulders with failure many times. In fact Volt Lines was the re-birth of a previous startup called Volt which he had to shut down. He saw himself celebrate Volt Line’s exit to Swvl, a $1.5B regional startup, only to get his company back 6 months later. Ali’s business ingenuity has been documented in a 3 part Harvard Business School case study. This episode is raw, genuine and a masterclass in entrepreneurship.Please spend 7min to fill this anonymous podcast survey.
