The operator who buys good businesses and runs them
No corporate ladder, no inheritance, no head start. I sold things, got most of it wrong, and kept rebuilding the system until it worked. Then I did it again with the next business.
Ten years, one conclusion: the boring parts keep a business alive, and one built to run without its founder is the only kind worth owning. The road here is below.
The road, so far
2016
Candy out of a dorm room.
Seventeen, a boarding school in Canada, and the first real money. The pattern starts: sell, learn, rebuild. I told the story on video.
The years after
Agencies, stores, software.
Instagram pages become digital marketing, funnels, e-commerce. Founded agencies, built stores, took stakes, put the profits to work.
The lawsuit
The boring parts keep a business alive.
A supplier ships the wrong certificates and a seven-figure threat lands on a young company. Compliance, structure, and the systems nobody sees become the doctrine.
Year eight
The turn.
The work was never really marketing. It was building an operating system a business runs on without its founder. And once you can do that, you can buy.
Today
Orevida.
One holding, built to buy and hold good businesses on a shared operating system, one industry at a time. Documented in the open.
AI-native, all the way down
A chatbot on a leaky funnel is still a leaky funnel. Build the business around what AI can do from the first decision, and the gain is structural.
What I am building
Start businesses or buy them. Some I sell on. The ones that fit fold into Orevida and stay, held for the long term.
Build or buy
Bootstrap one from zero, or acquire one that already works.
Exit or hold
Sell it on, or fold it into Orevida for good.
Compound
The more it holds, the stronger every business inside gets.
How to work with me
Based in Dubai, traveling most of the year, on no one's schedule but my own. Three ways to work together, depending on where you are.
