# Alexander Varro and Alija Nuredini - Founders OS for replacing operational fragmentation


- **Date:** Thursday, Sep 24, 2026
- **Time:** 11:00–11:05 (5 min)
- **Room:** Outdoor Stage
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Every tool solves a problem until it creates another one. What started as a simple search for better software turned into years of frustration, dozens of disconnected tools and one simple realization: managing software had become harder than managing the business itself. In this founder story, you'll discover how that frustration led to building Pistacio, a Founders OS platform designed to simplify operations for modern service companies and why reducing complexity could become the next major opportunity in B2B SaaS.
