My Ex-CEO Grew AppSumo From $5M to $70M

Noah Kagan Presents

Check out my book Million Dollar Weekend, which helps you start businesses in just 48 hours. Check it out at milliondollarweekend.com.

In this episode, I chat with Ayman Al-Abdullah, My friend and former CEO of AppSumo, who played a pivotal role in scaling the company from $5M to $70M, from 2016 to 2021. 

Since stepping down as CEO for AppSumo, he’s now become a growth strategy coach for many other CEOs. Ayman is of the best out there IMO and I wanted him to come on the show and share his insights into what it takes to grow a business from seven to nine figures, obviously drawing from his rich experience building a robust and sustainably growing company AppSumo. 

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:   

  • Why figuring out your ideal customer, even as a coach, is essential

  • Why people get stuck in a product creation loop rather than company creation. 

  • The dangers of shiny object syndrome and why Ayman is the double down king. 

All these plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.

You can find Ayman @aymanalabdul on Instagram or X

And if you fall into the 7+ figure camp and need help scaling to 9 figures, Ayman is your guy, you can find him at aymanalabdullah.com
