I’m Odeh Quraan. A Serial Entrepreneur
📍 Middle East
Available for Consultation
Serial entrepreneur, product builder, bootstrapper. I've been building tech companies since 2003 - some succeeded, most taught expensive lessons. Currently running iPhase, Idara ERP, and launching Sitewise.
I write about what I've learned bootstrapping in one of the world's most challenging markets, from product-market fit to teams to why geography matters more than good ideas.
