Are you tired of being ghosted on LinkedIn, or frustrated by the toxic "middle layer" of the Pakistani startup ecosystem? In this episode of the Thought Behind Things podcast, I sit down with Hassan Zulfiqar Munj, founder and CEO of Leap AI, to discuss how he used AI tools like Lovable to build a revolutionary networking platform designed specifically for founders.Hassan isn't a traditional software engineer. Coming from a background in traditional family business, opening CrossFit gyms, and running art galleries, he realized that the biggest bottleneck for entrepreneurs isn't just money—it's genuine, intent-based networking. We dive deep into the harsh realities of Pakistani traditional businesses, why the "Seth" culture refuses to digitize, and how Leap AI is using agentic AI to match founders with mentors, investors, and opportunities without the noise of traditional social media. If you want to know how non-technical founders are using AI to build real products, watch this until the end!
