Is Mazzaneh Highly Dependent on Its Founder, Mohammad Rahimi?
From a technical and infrastructural standpoint, all coding and implementation have been carried out by Mazzaneh’s development team — I have not written the code myself. This means the technical team has full control and capability to maintain and expand the platform independently of me.
In terms of ideation, marketing, and strategic vision, the core team has been working alongside me for years and is fully aware of all methods and execution models. That said, my role in the future direction of Mazzaneh is significant. Every individual has unique strengths, and for me, having already navigated the most difficult stages, the path ahead is both easier and more exciting.
Over the past four years, under extreme pressure — with maximum responsibility, financial strain, and the challenges of operating in the Iranian market — I have solved the most critical problems and built the product. Today, more than 80% of Mazzaneh’s capabilities are built, tested, and proven, making it fully launch-ready.
One key advantage is that I have a natural drive to create new features and ideas, and when freed from heavy operational stress, I perform at my highest level. If you look at Mazzaneh’s story, it has always been filled with innovation and new approaches — a trend that will accelerate in the international launch.
Our journey has been full of real challenges — from rebuilding the entire codebase twice due to limitations of previous teams, to overcoming numerous operational hurdles — and yet, with a team of fewer than 30 people, we’ve achieved something at a truly global scale. This history proves that with the right strategic partner, Mazzaneh will advance at an extraordinary pace.
