Mohi (Moe) Sanisel
Entrepreneur | Product Manager & Owner eBusiness Analyst & Consultant
Introduction
I was born in the first days of the ’90s, almost when WWW, Windows 3.0, and Photoshop came into existence. As the son of a computer programmer, I grew up staring at the black screen of the MS-DOS, turning the PCMag glossy pages, and writing QBasic and FoxPro codes out of curiosity.
By designing a website for a travel agency and receiving my first dollar at the age of 12, I experienced the seductive feeling of making money. At 15 received an award from M. Khatami -former president of Iran- for creating an all-inclusive tourism website. Until 22, I worked with different companies to save money for my personal projects.
At 22, being the CTO at one of the top 10 web hosting companies in Iran, I resigned to mix what I love and what I know to make a long-lasting impact. 2nate, the crowdfunding platform, launched. It helped tens of thousands of people have a better future and helped me find out my life mission: To Achieve prosperity by assisting people in having better lives through leveraging technology.
