This guided us to focus on perfecting a niche—second-hand electronics—before scaling into new verticals like used cars. It taught us the value of iteration, listening to user feedback, and building a solid foundation before expanding." 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲: "The worst advice we encountered was to "stick to what’s working." While it’s tempting to stay within a comfort zone, we realized that innovation requires risk-taking and challenging the status quo. Had we followed this advice, we wouldn’t have expanded our offerings or pursued bold partnerships that have been pivotal to our success." + 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆: e-Commerce, Sustainability + Soum is an online marketplace transforming how people in the MENA region buy and sell items with convenience, trust, and ease.
