About Ismail Salhi
Ismail Salhi is the co-founder of Qleek, a music startup blending the nostalgia of vinyl with the convenience of digital music, which pitched on The Pitch. Salhi co-founded Qleek with Johanna Hartzheim after discovering his father's old record collection in the attic. He pitched Qleek to investors on The Pitch in 2017 and returned to the show twice to share what happened next. Qleek shut down during Covid, after which Salhi started a profitable bread company with his wife, built without VC money.
