MY BACKGROUND
From every seat in the room.
I’m Junaid. A 4x founder with a wildly non-linear path through tech: data science, cybersecurity, consulting, cloud, presales, and now AI products. 2 wins. 2 lessons. And every seat in between.
Today I build AI tools for the people who can’t afford to guess: agency owners, consultants, and professional services firms.

THE JOURNEY
Why I build for business owners.
I started in data science and cybersecurity, then moved into consulting and cloud. I led global presales at GFI Software, helping partners close deals across 120+ countries. My work has spanned tech, healthcare, government, and finance, which gave me a rare lens on how business actually works across industries and stages.
Through the Crossover network, I’ve stayed plugged into top-tier remote talent across the globe. I’ve built 2 successful startups and 2 that taught me more than the wins ever did. I’ve sold, supported, coded, consulted, and marketed my way through every side of a business.
When I build tools for business owners, I’m not guessing what they need. I’ve sat in every seat. That’s the philosophy behind every product I ship at Ertiqah: do the hard work for the business owner so they don’t have to.
WHAT I’M BUILDING
Three bets on AI & founders.
LINKEDIN GROWTH
LigoSocial
AI agents that turn voice notes, documents, and passing thoughts into a month of LinkedIn content. Built for founders who’d rather sell than scroll.
VOICE-FIRST AI
Contextli & AudioAI
Talk to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity instead of typing at them. Voice notes become prompts, prompts become output. No more context switching.
NEWSLETTER & YOUTUBE
The Efficient Entrepreneur
Bi-weekly deep dives on the workflows, prompts, and tools I actually use to run an AI company. 7K+ subscribers. Zero fluff.
