Founder
Navid Firouz, began as a software developer at a startup that went public. In his corporate career he helped build one of the earliest AI-powered finance and news sentiment engines used by institutional trading floors to navigate the 2008 crash — well before “AI” became mainstream.
He later moved into product leadership, driving global chip launches at AMD (Sunnyvale), leading software innovation at Samsung HQ in Korea, and spearheading corporate transformation at LG HQ as Chief Engineer. At Accenture North America, he led an IoT and mobility practice, advising Fortune 100 clients across the U.S. on digital strategy.
Navid holds executive education in Finance (Harvard), in Business Model Innovation, and in Design Thinking (Stanford) as well. He is currently completing his Executive MBA (2026) at Quantic.
Inspiration
Over his career, Navid has worked with thousands of startups and portfolio companies — from both sides of the table. He’s helped founders scale, advised VC and PE-backed firms, and led the integration of startup services and partner ecosystems into global enterprises. He understands what creates value — whether for a first-time founder, a corporate venture team, or a private equity partner preparing for exit.
