Our guest today is Ahmer Rafiq, CEO & Founder of Souqh, Canada’s first real estate and home services marketplace. Souqh brings together clients, realtors, mortgage brokers, law firms, inspectors, and associated industry partners to deliver a complete digital experience for their client’s homeownership journey.
Since launching in 2020, they are on a mission to simplify every step of your home buying and ownership journey. Souqh has launched 10+ strategic partnerships with strategic partners across Ontario, such as Mississauga Real Estate Board, Sotheby's, and Prepare for Canada while achieving strong supplier traction and onboarding 3,000+ service providers on our marketplace across Ontario. Beyond that, they've reached $100k in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within the first year of launch and grew marketplace traffic 25x to 25,000+ monthly visits, and facilitated 2,000+ transactions in under 12 months, verifying product market fit.
In this episode, we chat with Ahmer as he discusses his background in digital transformation and how it led him to pursue entrepreneurship, why homeownership needs to change, and what it means to be recognized as a disrupter in the industry.
