EP646: Alykhan Jetha (AJ) - How Pivoting Helped Grow A Multi-Million $$ SaaS Company
Manage episode 463552727 series 1745497
“So that day I decided I'm going to start a company. Had I known how difficult it is... I mean, but then, that naivety is essential. You’ve got to just take the plunge and then you'll figure it out.”
Entrepreneurship is like running a marathon through a minefield, blindfolded, and our guest managed to cross the finish line with style. Born in the Congo, AJ’s family faced adversity straight out of a Hollywood drama. They fled the country, lost everything, and landed in Canada with nothing but their grit. Fast-forward, AJ built a multimillion-dollar SaaS company, all while proving that persistence isn’t just a virtue—it’s a business model. Along the way, he learned what’s truly important: adaptability, taking risks (even sweeping floors for free), and creating value by solving real-world problems. This is a story of rejection, reinvention, and relentless optimism.
Alykhan "AJ" Jetha is a software visionary and cofounder of Marketcircle, a leading SaaS company providing tools like ‘Daylite’ to empower small businesses with effortless customer, sales and project management. Born in the Congo and displaced as a child, AJ’s entrepreneurial path has been shaped by his unique experiences, relentless determination, and passion for enabling small businesses to thrive.
