A clear night. The heart of the desert. A child on his back, counting stars, not to exhaust them, but to feel them. The sky was not a ceiling. It was a question: I am so small. Can I still do something? Can I serve people? Can I make a life better, somewhere, for someone?
Years passed. The child became an engineer. Then came the team, three of them, and an idea almost no one had a name for yet. Live streaming.People didn't know what "live" meant yet. There were no apps to point to, no playbook, no map. Only the idea, and the hands to build it.
They built the first livestream app in Iran. Not a copy, an original. And somewhere in the work, the boy from the desert recognised himself: here we go. I am building something that improves people's lives. I am aligned with my childhood dreams.
Three became eleven. The world spread them apart, different cities, different time zones, but the thread held. They kept building, kept shipping, kept believing. Five products. Twenty million people, all over the world, using something made by this small group who once sat in a room in Iran and asked: what if?
They say they are still at the start of the road. And maybe that is the most honest thing about them, that after twenty million users, after years and countries and hardship, they still feel the road opening ahead. Still curious. Still building. Still serving.
These are a few of them.
