Yazeed Alsulayhim

Co-Founder, Shaguf & Bites

As a product leader and entrepreneur, I co-founded an 8-figure startup while still in college. I began my journey during my junior year at university, balancing the demands of being a student with the challenges of building a startup. Through perseverance, we co-founded Shaguf (شغوف), originally a marketplace, and later built Bites, an AI-powered learning platform with around 1,000,000 users. My expertise lies in building innovative products, particularly in the GenAI space, utilizing AI to deliver real value, and leveraging product analytics to drive growth. Along the way, we raised 5 million SAR and scaled a global team of 26 employees. I’m eager to share my experiences and provide guidance, not only to aspiring founders but also to students and professionals navigating the evolving product landscape, balancing entrepreneurship and leadership.
