Backstory
Javid’s journey started in South London with humble beginnings, where his passion for technology ignited an entrepreneurial drive. By his early teens, he was building computers, fixing PlayStations, and providing IT support to local businesses. At 16, Javid left school to pursue his tech career, eventually founding his first consultancy by age 20. By his mid-20s, he was working with blue-chip clients such as KPMG.
In 2013, recognising a gap in the market, Javid co-founded LayerV, a cloud-managed services company. He scaled the business to an 8-figure valuation, leading it to a successful exit in 2017. Javid then worked with global enterprises, helping them develop multimillion-dollar cloud capabilities.
By 2020, Javid shifted his focus to building and empowering startups with a vision to make a positive impact. Now, with over two decades of experience, he’s dedicated to helping founders not just scale for profit, but also create businesses that leave a lasting impact on the world.
