Talking "Boring Business" with Washmen's Co-Founder | Sandpit Startups | Ep18 | Jad Halaoui

from Sandpit Startups · host Sam Drake & Abhishek Chatterjee

In this squeaky clean episode we sit down with Jad Halaoui, the co-founder of Washmen, a digital laundry and dry-cleaning service in the UAE. We talk about Jad's journey from working in Canada one day for an Oil & Gas giant to take the leap of faith to fly to UAE and work with his co-founder Rami on Washmen. He talks about the highs of receiving multiple rounds of funding and being mentored by the co-founder of Careem to the lows of coping with the struggles and anxiety of his startup Washmen. A profound conversation where we talk about hiring, wellbeing and also startups.
