Everyone documents success, but no one talks about the struggle.

I’m Ali Kavousi, and this is my real, unfiltered journey of building a startup from nothing. No investors, no budget, just execution.

I came from Iran, started in Greece, and built a B2B2C hospitality tech platform that expanded to four countries—Greece, UAE, Hungary, USA—partnering with 1,500+ high-end merchants.

Nobody believed in my idea, but I bootstrapped, reinvested every dollar, and played my own game. No fluff, just raw execution, lessons, and the reality of being a founder.
