Today we’d like to introduce you to Ali Agha.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Ali. So, let’s start at the beginning, and we can move on from there.
I was born to two Pakistani immigrants, as a first generation American, in Pennsylvania. My father passed away when I was very young and as a result, I was raised by my single mother. My mother decided she was not going to be a victim with two kids at home. She went on to become a successful doctor and entrepreneur.
Growing up, I never seemed to fit the mold. In school, my dyslexia hampered me from excelling in the traditional academic environment. Socially, I was shy and lacked confidence(typical of males who grow up without father figures). I was just different. These experiences defined my path in life early on. It was clear I was not made for the cookie cutter 9-5 corporate life. I was a born entrepreneur.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Not a single part of the journey has been “easy”. The road has been filled with struggles and challenges every step of the way… from growing up as an awkward kid from a single parent immigrant home, startups that failed, realizing personal attributes that needed to change, etc. Looking back, these struggles were 100% necessary for me to be successful now.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Olypsis Technologies story. Tell us more about the business.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I was lucky to have a great family and to catch a break with long-term, key clients that accelerated the growth of Olypsis from the very beginning. You need some level of luck to be a entrepreneur. Hopefully, I had just enough.
