What does it take to build a company in a world where AI is changing everything — fast?
Ghassan Ben Hajjallah is a serial tech entrepreneur, GenAI-native founder, and blockchain enthusiast currently building Inncivio — a next-gen learning and engagement platform for teams. In this conversation, we unpack his founder journey, mindset, and what makes Inncivio more than just a product — it's a movement for meaningful learning.
You’ll hear about:
- Culture as a startup’s backbone — why compromising on hiring can destroy long-term growth
- GenAI as an amplifier — and why deep understanding (not shortcuts) will define winners
- How to make learning actually engaging — not with slides or PDFs, but TikTok-like micro-journeys
- The founder's resilience playbook — staying strong through rejection, risk, and reinvention
- The quote that defines Ghassan’s philosophy:
“Some people bring a solution to every problem; others bring a problem to every solution.”
Big Takeaways:
GenAI won’t replace people — it will elevate the ones who understand the fundamentals.
Learning is a product — and like any product, it needs UX, not just content.
Culture is your startup’s immune system. Protect it.
Founding is a resilience game. Energy wins over ego.
