Entering new sectors
Retail, an agency, real estate, a restaurant and a jewellery brand look unrelated. Each started with a problem and a bet on a market, and each taught something the others use.

How I think about building businesses
Entrepreneur since 2012, based in the Rawalpindi area of Pakistan.
The problem I keep coming back to is the same in every business I have run: the work is scattered across tools that do not talk to each other, and effort is lost in the gaps between them. This page is less about the businesses themselves than about what running several of them at the same time has taught me.
How I work
Trading expertise for equity
Since 2018 some ventures have been joint ventures, where marketing and technology work was exchanged for a share rather than a fee.
The founder's recordBuilding teams and systems
A business that depends on one person's memory does not grow. The work is writing down how things are done, and giving people the tools to do them.
Read the InsightsTechnology and marketing as the common engine
Every venture needs clients found, kept and served. The same methods carry from one business to the next, which is why they are worth sharing.

The MominSheikh.com Ecosystem is a connected business platform in development. It will be used first in my own businesses, and opened to others only one stage at a time. Meanwhile my consulting and delivery services are available.
