We delved deep into the critical Gaza relief efforts and the dire humanitarian situation unfolding on the ground and Taawon's immediate mobilization and on the ground efforts kicked off immediately in aid of the local population. Dr. Aida provided invaluable insights into the rich history of the Welfare Association and its longstanding commitment to Gaza and Palestinian refugees residing across the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, and Jordan. The organization has been directly involved in relief efforts and has collaborated closely with civil society organizations in Gaza, spanning crucial areas from supporting hospitals to advancing education and empowering youth.We discussed Taawon's Orphans Funds, Mustaqbali and Wajd, two remarkable initiatives that have supported over 4000 orphans in Gaza. These funds not only address their educational needs but also focus on their overall development, health, and well-being. Dr. Aida revealed that a revamped Orphans Fund will soon be launched, taking into account the anticipated rise in orphans resulting from the current war in Gaza. The aim is to provide comprehensive support to these vulnerable children until they reach 22 years of age.Dr. Aida shed light on Taawon's short-term and long-term goals in Gaza. In the immediate, they are dedicated to delivering crucial supplies like fuel, water, food, and other essentials to those affected on the ground.Visit www.taawon.org to learn more and to donate to their critical Gaza Relief Fund.Guest: Dr. Aida Essaid, Taawon, Welfare AssociationInstagram: @tawoonpalestineCo-Hosts:Lama BazaariInstagram: @cravingpalestine, @lamabazzariLina HadidInstagram: @linahadid, @palestinelobbyFollow, like, rate, and review the Free Palestine Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

Essaid provides tips on how to iteratively grow a startup by focusing on customers, growth, prioritization, and cadencePEOPLEGuest: Rami Essaid, CEO, FinmarkHost: Anil Hemrajani, Founder of Startup SidekickTAKEAWAYSTry to break down your steps into as small time increments as possible. A lot of people think annual and quarterly, then realize they have missed the mark. Break it down into monthly and weekly -- that’ll let you get feedback more quickly to avoid big course corrections. Nothing you dream up will hit the mark the first time; the less distance you have to go to adjust, the better. Make sure you have a solid team you’re working with. Early on, it’s all about the core team. It helped us accomplish things at a much faster rate.NOTES01:15 – Can you provide us an overview of Finmark? Finmark is financial modeling software for startups; we want to make it really easy for companies to manage their runway, hiring cash, understanding unit economics...just like Carta moved cap tables out of Excel -- we want to do the same for financial modeling. Most people outsource financial modeling and eventually they bring it in-house by hiring someone but even though it’s very easy to make mistakes. We made a painful mistake at Distil Networks when we thought we had more money coming in -- because of that mistake, we had to lay off 57 people. After selling Distil, I realized the problem still existed, so I decided to fix it.03:00 - So, how do you go about building a startup, one step a time? Essentially, you build something a small amount of people love, then iterate quickly. Start with the big picture, then boil it down to as small of a piece as you can cut off, then get going on it. Think of SpaceX, their mission is to get to Mars but they started with satellites, now they are carrying people to the space station and eventually will get to Mars. At Finmark, we spent two months building the MVP to get the product into the hands of people. Then we iterated on a monthly cadence since then, with milestones then measure and iterate.04:10 - Did you interview other startups before or after building the MVP? Yes, I wanted to have conviction in my head that this was as big of a problem as I thought it was. Before the MVP, I spent two months interviewing founders and investors. I spent a lot of time talking to founders of small and growth companies, CFOs, and investors, to get their perspective on this problem, before bringing a team of people in.05:05 - After raising money, how do you resist the push from investors to scale quickly? Depends on your measure of success. I set expectations with investors that early on we won’t make a lot of money since I’m focused on user growth. As a YC Alum, we’re indoctrinated with startup=growth, so you do want to create a North Star KPI/metric -- for us, that’s user adoption, not revenues, so that helps investors think of scale in a slightly different way.06:08 - What should founders focus on, very early on (e.g. MVP, growth)? The nice thing about focusing on growth as the North Star, it unlocks certain behavior that ties back into the customer’s problem. If the growth isn’t there, then your product might not be meeting customer’s demands or it’s not a big market. You could build a product just for a big market or build a great product for a small set of customers but then you don’t have a great opportunity. Using growth metric as your guiding star, you optimize for that and you solve all the other issues along the way.07:40 - How do you get started from ground zero? First step is to believe in the product then build a vision and thesis around it -- that’s when the customer interv
