It is a profound honor for me to start this professional journey alongside such incredible Iranian founders from all corners of the world. Together, we are building something truly meaningful—a lasting legacy for the next generation.

I’m deeply convinced that as we grow side-by-side, we will learn and discover so much more in this collective adventure. I’m incredibly proud of this group.

Please help us spread the word and share this with your network of builders. Let’s make this movement grow together!

📽️ The full session recording will be available on our YouTube channel soon.

People joined from London and beyond, sharing their journeys, lessons, and ideas around building products, startups, and communities. It was one of those rare nights where the conversations were as diverse as they were inspiring, from early-stage founders to experienced entrepreneurs, all exchanging perspectives and stories that stayed with us long after the event.

What made it even more special was how many of those connections have continued. Several collaborations, side projects, and friendships began that evening, showing once again how powerful it can be when curious and driven people come together.

Since then, Divan Academy has continued to grow as a space for builders to learn, collaborate, and turn ideas into real products. Over the past few months, we have hosted the first Divan Hackathon, that have connected hundreds of people from around the world, all with the same shared goal: to learn by doing.

Now, we are preparing the next Divan London event.

We are excited to bring everyone together again, old friends and new faces, to continue building what is next, together!
