About

Wasla means connection. That's the whole product.

We grew up in MENA. We sent resumes into voids. We watched classmates from London and Stanford casually message a senior engineer at Meta and land an interview the same week.

The gap was never talent. It was access. Wasla is the access layer.

We bring verified insiders — people who actually work at Google, Stripe, McKinsey, Goldman, Meta — into a marketplace where MENA candidates can book real prep, real feedback, and real referrals. Not coaching theatre. Practitioners.

We charge for the session. The referral, if it happens, is part of the conversation.

One advisor at a time. One offer at a time. Until the bridge is so wide nobody notices it anymore.

Who's behind this.

Ahmed Elsaady — Founder

Senior PM at Taager (e-commerce ops, MENA). 2x founder (one failure, one in progress). AUC '20.

I'm building Wasla because I'm the candidate it's for. I've watched classmates from Stanford and LSE casually message senior engineers at Meta and land interviews while I sent CVs into ATS voids. The gap was never talent. It was access.

If you're a MENA pro at a top company and want to be one of our founding 20 advisors — DM me directly on LinkedIn or email me.
