About Ali Parandeh
An entrepreneur at heart, Ali is the son of an Iranian immigrant and someone who has truly walked the talk. He fell in love with programming at the age of 14 after purchasing his first PC in 1985. He later pursued a degree in Biotechnology and a postgraduate degree in Genetic Engineering.
Throughout his university years, Ali launched several ventures to fund his education — gaining real-world experience long before graduation. Today, he is a two-time exit entrepreneur who has not only survived but thrived through the infamous “Death Valley” of startup life.
He knows firsthand what it takes to build a business, lead a team through uncertainty, recover from setbacks, and ultimately sell a company. Currently, Ali serves as a startup mentor at multiple accelerators and a board advisor to several high-growth startups.
