Hey! Thanks for dropping by.
I’m a Partner at ODDBIRD. I invest Idea through Seed across all sectors.
I’m a former founder, Division I Athlete, and spent just under a decade in high growth companies.
Working with Ashkan has been awesome. He’s incredibly supportive and always ready to help where he can. From making thoughtful introductions to helping us understand who we're really dealing with during fundraising, he’s been an invaluable sounding board. We’ve also had the chance to host events together, and throughout, Ashkan has consistently shown up with energy, generosity, and a genuine desire to help us win. Grateful to have him in our corner.

Every founder experiences day 1. It's when you're just getting started, don't really have a network, and still figuring out what to build. What sets Ashkan apart is being there on day 1. Believing in you and supporting you when others would look the other way or write you off. During my first startup he was never shy about making introductions, finding ways to be helpful, or just being there through the emotional rollercoaster. Would enjoy working with him again :)

Ashkan is an incredible partner. Ashkan is a day-one believer and personally invested in helping first-time founders succeed. Once we started working together he has provided numerous introductions to value-add investors and future partners. On top of that he’s a pleasure to work with and always willing to help. Any founder would benefit with Ashkan on their cap table!
