I started developing tech products at 13 and was recruited at 16 by a Silicon Valley startup Make School for internships. I later joined UPGRADED as a product manager intern, both YC-backed companies that deeply shaped my mindset with their product-led cultures. I also attended the 'How to Start a Startup' program by Y Combinator taught at Stanford on campus which greatly influenced my entrepreneurial thinking. Inspired by that spirit, I returned to Tunisia to create GOMYCODE: a school that takes the spirit and energy of Silicon Valley.
