November 27, 2024 Janus Innovation Hub No comments yet

On November 2, 2024, in Los Angeles, the Persian Tech Network event provided an incredible platform for professionals in tech, innovation, and entrepreneurship to connect. Featuring a lineup of insightful tech talks, engaging startup pitches, and abundant networking opportunities, the event offered attendees a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. A big thank you to speakers Shahriar Afshar, Mahdi Soltanolkotabi, Kiana Aran, and Aras Sheikhi, with Sara Beygi from Amidi Group skillfully leading the discussions!

Calling All First-Generation Entrepreneurs!

We’re still buzzing from Nastaran Ashouri’s remarkable presentation at the Persian Tech Network event! 🌟 She unveiled how TokenTrail is set to revolutionize marketing by integrating Augmented Reality and Blockchain. Imagine interactive scavenger hunts that unlock real-time rewards—exciting, right? TokenTrail goes beyond traditional advertising, transforming brand interactions into immersive adventures with mini-games and exciting token rewards. This innovative approach makes every ad feel like an unforgettable experience!

We also want to applaud Ali Riahi Samani, a first-generation immigrant entrepreneur, for showcasing his groundbreaking idea at the event! His platform, BerryBond, is designed to help people save more by unlocking group discounts. The innovative solution allows users to collaborate with friends, family, or even new acquaintances to maximize savings. Ali’s inspiring journey highlights that with vision and determination, success is achievable. We’re eager to see where BerryBond goes next! 👏

Cultivating Community and Future Innovations

Reflecting on the success of the Persian Tech Network event, it’s evident that creativity and entrepreneurship within our community are flourishing. Events like this not only showcase groundbreaking innovations but also foster collaboration among aspiring and established entrepreneurs. The connections formed here have the potential to spark partnerships, mentoring relationships, and even funding opportunities, propelling ideas to new heights.

We encourage everyone to stay engaged and watch for future events that promote innovation and networking within the tech community. Together, we can build a supportive ecosystem that empowers first-generation entrepreneurs and celebrates diversity in technology and business. Your next big idea might just be a connection away!
