Like many great startups, JS Nexa was born from Silicon Valley… in an attempt to solve its own problem. In 2019, Jonathon was the CEO of a fast-growing tech startup but had one glaring problem: hiring. After struggling to find the right team by “hiring” overpriced in-house employees, and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on Upwork and Fiverr, he finally found his solution…

Youssef Sabry, a social media expert, had serendipitously started a video editing agency just as Jonathon’s company was beginning to scale. Quickly Jonathon realized that Youssef could solve all his hiring problems.

“Ask Yousef,” quickly became the mantra of many digital marketing companies.

Though Youssef had a problem himself: how to keep up with such a fast-growing demand? This is when Jonathon and Youssef combined forces to co-found JS Nexa. Fast forward 4 years later, and they’ve been able to place more than 1,000 VAs at companies all around the world.

Though they both admit their most important hires were Hesham and Rana, now co-owners of JS Nexa, to round out the super team. With the combination of Rana’s operations genius, Hesham’s video editing prowess, Jonathon’s digital marketing expertise, and Youssef’s visionary approach to social media…

they’re humble enough to know that there is much left to learn… but also confident enough to know that JS Nexa has only just begun.
