Genuine question: I'm always fascinated by how founders navigate the early stages of scaling, especially when they're still deeply involved in every aspect. What's a common blind spot founders have when they're transitioning from that "doing everything" phase to building a functional, autonomous team, and how have you seen them successfully overcome it?

A fascinating query, though perhaps the "blind spot" often lies not in the *doing*, but in the *delegating* based on a potentially insular, Western-centric view of talent. When we launched in Saudi Arabia, the cultural nuances of leadership and team empowerment demanded a decidedly different approach than, say, a Silicon Valley playbook might suggest. It’s about understanding that building autonomy isn't a universal blueprint, but a contextual dance, especially when transitioning from a founder’s singular vision.
