About
The best tools don't win. The loudest makers do.
(And I'm tired of pretending that's okay.)
I'm Waleed, founder of PanX. Here's why I built a better way to discover software:
At Dell, I built an "impossible" automation. It saved them $1.6M. They paid me $300/month—then resold it for $10K.
When I asked why, my manager shrugged: "That's just how it works."
That’s how software works too.
Great tools lose to hype. I saw it happen in corporate politics—then watched it happen in the software world. So I quit and built PanX.
The discovery problem nobody solves
Ever tried searching for a tool and felt lost? Directories bury good software under jargon and endless categories. Nobody searches for "SaaS CRM." We think:
- 💼 I need clients.
- 🚀 I need to build faster.
- 👥 I need a better team.
That’s why I created ToolSeekr—a directory built around 8 essential business needs, with tags that actually matter. Find solutions based on what you need, not who paid the most.
Why This Works
ToolSeekr works because I’ve lived both sides of this broken marketplace:
- Built by someone who's been burned: I’ve created tools that got ignored and wasted money on ones that overpromised.
- Integrity isn't negotiable: I’ve turned down $10K for fake reviews and walked away from 7-figure deals outside my expertise.
- Usefulness over cash: My ranking system puts value first. Sponsors only appear when they actually fit.
Built for Chaos
PanX combines "pan" (Greek for "everything") with X—the variable no one plans for. When tools break overnight, adaptability isn’t just nice—it’s survival.
Real results prove this works. A free job search engine hit 15K users with $0 spent on ads. A Cairo art space? 400% revenue jump.
The right tools exist. Now they can actually be found.
