Founder&Partner, iSteps Widget Ventures

Web site

Mehrdad Piroozram was born on 21st March 1971 in Tehran. Since 1990 he has worked in the enterprise IT business sector. His main areas of work: programming and networks. In 1995 he founded Pironet and in 2000 saw through the initial public offering. In 2003 he sold the company. Since the end of 2005 he has acted as a business angel and has pressed ahead with the idea of iSteps.

iSteps is an independent network of serial entrepreneurs that is continually growing. iSteps wins over dedicated private individuals, who are, in the main, entrepreneurs and leading managers, to the innovative concepts of start-up companies. As well as definitive professional and operational experience in the rapid set-up of start-up companies, our network partners often also bring with them their own personal contact network to the investment management companies.

iSteps not only advises the investment management companies on operational challenges, but also opens up new corporate possibilities, e.g. through strategic alliances. Our contribution: extensive and active support of the management in the various phases of the development of the company
