I'm a new member and noticed that many posts and community questions are almost unanswered for a long time, even more than a year.
I can look at this issue from two perspectives. One is the Persian community's inherent characteristics. It could also be a user experience issue with the product. I have a somewhat solid opinion about the first aspect, that I would like to be challenged.
Regarding the UX, I'm still experiencing this platform.
JobHire is an AI-native Applicant Tracking System (ATS) built to help companies automate and improve their hiring process. It analyzes resumes, scores candidates based on job descriptions, and highlights key qualifications automatically. JobHire also provides smart search, candidate ranking, and interview-scheduling tools — helping HR teams save time, reduce bias, and make data-driven hiring decisions.
The Divan Hackathon is back. After the success of the first edition, with 355 applications, 50 teams from 11 countries, 27 mentors, 10 workshops, and 14 finalists, we’re evolving the format to create an even stronger launchpad for early-stage founders.

This time, every startup can participate (not only AI). Teams are prioritized, but individual founders are also welcome. We’re not just looking for built products, we’re looking for early-stage startups with ambition. Starts January 17th, 2026 Apply Now : https://hackathon.divan.ac
Yesterday wasn't just a meeting; it was proof that the narrative is changing. We’ve always heard that collective action is 'hard,' but seeing this Founding Core align with such clarity and speed proves otherwise. We are moving from 'profiles' to 'purposeful action' globally. 🚀
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!

With 20+ years across finance, technology, and venture building, I’m the Founder of Asli Capital, investing at the intersection of fintech, AI, and cross-border innovation.
I’ve launched and scaled businesses in trading, brokerage, and education, and today I back founders with capital, operating experience, and global networks across Canada, the U.S., Australia, and beyond. My focus is on immigrant founders, fintech infrastructure, AI-enabled products, and category creators with strong unit economics.
I’m active in Vancouver’s startup ecosystem (mentor/judge) and sponsor the Asli Capital Innovation Award. Certified in Blockchain Technology (INSEAD), I’m currently exploring quantum computing investment themes.
During London Tech Week last summer, we hosted the Divan London gathering, an evening that brought together an incredible mix of founders, engineers, designers, and creative minds from across the tech scene.
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.
If you would like to be part of the upcoming gathering and get updates about future meetups, hackathons, and workshops, follow us here:
Hey Shahin, sounds amazing! I really love how Divan brings curious and creative people together to build, learn, and collaborate. Excited to see what’s coming next for Divan London!
