I just wanted to say that your story truly inspired me Pejman. Especially as a fellow Iranian who has heard of what was happening to my own parents during the Iran/Iraq war and after the revolution.

Congratulations on building a VC from such humble beginnings in the US and even better that you managed to marry the love of your life and transcend the issues of distance.

Having worked in the start up industry for a few years now and previously running business awards, I can’t imagine a better list of common traits of successful entrepreneurs than the one you’ve included in this list!

Best wishes,
