About this event

Mahbod Moghadam is an Iranian-American internet entrepreneur and investor. He is a cofounder of Everipedia. Mahbod was formerly a cofounder of Rap Genius (now Genius), which he started in 2009 with Yale University classmate and friend Tom Lehman.

Moghadam currently works full-time on Everipedia. He met Sam Kazemian in 2015 when he was giving a talk at UCLA and was immediately captivated by the earliest version of Everipedia. Sam showed Mahbod his Everipedia page and Mahbod was super excited because he had always wanted a Wikipedia page, and several people had made him one, but Wikipedia kept deleting it.

He and Sam, along with cofounders Theodor Forselius and Travis Moore, raised seed funding from Mucker Capital and commenced the revolution of knowledge.

Mahbod is an Angel investor in Coinbase, Helpr, Polymail, Burrow Sofa, Yoshi Fuel, Squire Technologies and Flexport. He also owns Bitcoin and Ethereum.
