Meetings Are Where Startups Go to Die

If your calendar looks like Abdali traffic on a Thursday at 5 PM, we need to talk. Meetings are supposed to drive alignment, not burnout. Yet here we are, treating "syncs" like sacred rituals — worse than the line at the Ministry of Interior.

Startups aren’t built in Zoom rooms. They’re built in the in-between — over coffee at Rumi, whiteboard fights in coworking spaces, and 2AM ideas during blackout nights.

Signs Your Meetings Need a Mercy Killing:

  • No one knows why they’re there
  • Someone says "let’s take this offline" 14 times
  • You leave with more questions than answers
  • Everyone’s secretly replying to WhatsApps

Fix the Flow:

  1. Kill 50% of your recurring meetings. Just delete them. You’ll survive.
  2. Replace with async updates. Use dashboards, group chats, and Looms.
  3. Cap real-time meetings at 30 mins. Like a good man’ousheh — quick, satisfying.
  4. Define "done" for every meeting. If it’s not producing outcomes, it’s wasting oxygen.

Meetings Should Feel Like Power-Ups, Not Pit Stops

The best meetings are rare, fast, and energizing. They align, unblock, or decide. That’s it. No status theater, no calendar bloating.
