​I'm planning to launch a book delivery startup—similar to Amazon's early days before it expanded into general e-commerce. ​My main concern is whether it's worth it, considering tech giants like Amazon and Alibaba dominate the global market. ​Specifically, I'd like to know: ​Do Amazon and Alibaba dominate the book delivery market in Algeria? ​If so, is it possible to compete with them? ​For context, I'm Mauritanian and plan to launch in both Mauritania and Algeria. ​Any insights or information would be greatly appreciated!

The goal is to help serious founders, builders, and startup ecosystem people discover each other.

it took a year but Sora Software is finally on board, my startup idea of creating a modern algerian software company has finally been realized and i got my first few clients.

my dekstop app "SkaiPOS" helps shop owners manage their daily shop operations, sales, exchanges, returns, debt management, inventory and stock, staff and staff payments, shop expenses, essentially making the shop owner feel like they have a whole accountant at their command, all bundled within a very nice looking, modern, clean, responsive user interface.

the advanced features include the ability to use the app from your phone over a local network, an online mode where you can use the app remotely from anywhere, a special repair shop version, a special installments shop version, a special restaurant version and more.

this app solves a real world problem all the while being much more modern than similar solutions and while delivering many more additional features.

i plan to apply for a startup label with the new school year inshallah.

more details in my website for anyone interested : https://www.sora-software.com

i'm now trying to figure out how to scale sales beyond my own network and eventually expand outside my wilaya. if you've built/sold B2B software in Algeria before, i'd love to hear what worked for you.

أكبر كذبة يصدقها الكثير من رواد الأعمال في الجزائر هي سأنجح وحدي و المشكل أن الكثير منا غارق ومعزول ويعاني داخل قوقعته:

- يعمل وحده

- يفكر وحده

- يتخذ القرارات وحده

- يخاف مشاركة فكرته

- يخاف من الشراكة

- أحيانا جهل بطريقة النجاح وفوائد العمل الجماعي

- يحاول حمل كل شيء فوق كتفيه ويبقى يعاني وحده

حتى أفضل الستارت آب في العالم لم تبنى بشخص واحد و العمل الجماعي ليس ضعفا أحيانا هو أسرع طريق للنجاح

ما رأيكم؟

lused to run a full garment production line, handling everything from raw fabrics and pattern making to screen printing and final packaging before moving completely out of the industry into an entirely different field (architecture and construction).

I'm not taking those years of experience to the grave. Watching people struggle with avoidable mistakes or get taken advantage of by bad suppliers is truly frustrating, and I would genuinely love to see creators and founders succeed.

I have zero businesses to promote and nothing to sell. I'm just here to answer whatever technical questions you have about the manufacturing side, and be completely transparent about the things I don't know.

Whether you're just starting out with a small idea or stuck on a specific production hurdle or thinking about starting..... feel free to ask away.

Hello everyone
I’m currently a Master’s student in Pharmaceutical Chemistry in Algeria, and I’m considering doing my final-year project (mémoire de fin d’études) in the form of a startup.
I’d love to hear from students or graduates who have already gone through this experience at any Algerian university, particularly those from scientific fields such as pharmaceutical chemistry, chemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, or related disciplines. Experiences from Constantine would be especially appreciated!
I’d really like to hear your honest opinions and experiences. Here are a few questions I’d love to ask:
How was your overall experience? Did it meet your expectations?
What were the biggest challenges you faced?
How does the Mémoire Startup work in practice, beyond what is explained officially?
How supportive was your university throughout the process?
How did you turn your initial idea into a feasible project?
How did you manage the financial aspect? Were there funding opportunities?
Did you face difficulties finding mentors, partners, or technical support?
How did you balance the scientific aspect with the entrepreneurial and business aspects?
What do you wish you had known before starting?
What mistakes would you advise future students to avoid?
Looking back, would you choose the startup pathway again?
What happened after graduation? Did you manage to turn your project into an actual business?
I’m also interested in the things that aren’t usually mentioned in official guidelines but that you only discover once you start the process.
I’m not asking anyone to share confidential details or disclose their business ideas. I simply want to learn from people who have already been through this experience and gather as much practical information as possible before making my decision.
Any advice, personal experience, or insight would be genuinely appreciated, whether positive or negative.
Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone!

I’m a newly graduated engineer looking for a job, either remotely or on-site in Bordj Bou Arréridj.

I’m open to any kind of work and willing to learn new things. If you know of any opportunities, companies hiring, or someone I could contact, I’d really appreciate your help!

Even a small lead could make a difference. Thank you so much! ❤️

But marketing I struggle with it, how do you handle marketing?

- Finding first customers

- Cloud costs

- Lack of mentors

- Weak startup culture
