From validating your first idea to leading a team of 100 – this episode is a full founder kit, straight from someone who’s lived every stage of it.
I’m joined by Salman Habib, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and co-founder & CEO of Burq, an AI-based delivery infrastructure platform he’s scaled to nearly 100 employees since starting his first company as a college sophomore.
We walk through the full arc: finding real product-market fit, staying heads down when startup glamour pulls you off track, and evolving your leadership style as your company grows from a small team into something much larger. Salman has been through every one of these stages himself – and he doesn’t hold back.
