Scaling a Bootstrapped Marketplace: Where is the Real Bottleneck?

I’ve spent the last 6 years building SouqFriday.com —a fully autonomous, zero-ops classifieds engine for the MENA region—entirely solo.

We crossed 100,000+ organic app installs on Google Play and Huawei AppGallery with $0 ad spend, powered entirely by programmatic SEO, multi-currency localization, and AI-driven auto-moderation.

While the technical and organic infrastructure is completely built out, it brings me to a classic founder dilemma. I’m curious where this community stands—cast your vote in the poll above and let’s discuss in the comments!
