Feras Alhlou

Feras' first foray into entrepreneurship started with a layoff notice from the telecom startup that he had joined after moving to Silicon Valley. When that company made some false steps and had to lay off most staff, Feras took the lessons that he learned there and started his own first business with a friend.

Since that pivotal moment, Feras has founded, grown, and sold businesses in Silicon Valley and abroad, scaling them from zero revenue to 7 and 8 figures. In 2019, Feras sold e-Nor, a digital marketing consulting company, to dentsu (a top-5 global media company).

Feras has served as an advisor to 150+ founders. In his current venture, Start Up With Feras, he's on a mission to help entrepreneurs in the consulting and services space start and grow their businesses smarter and stronger. He's also an author, speaker, and board member as well as a 3rd-degree black belt in Aikido, and he continues his lifelong dedication to nonprofits.

Feras is forever grateful to his close friends and colleagues and everyone who has supported him on his journey. This is especially true for his wife and children, with whom he's happy to be able to spend quality time.
