Free for years. Now, guaranteed for you.
For more than five years, Persian Tech Network has been free. We built the original and largest Persian tech community in the Bay Area one monthly event at a time — and the rooms kept filling past capacity.
That's a good problem, but it became a real one: people who wanted in couldn't always get in. Moving to a simple $19.99 ticket fixes that. It guarantees your seat, covers the venue, food and drinks, and lets us invest in better speakers, better spaces, and better nights.
Nothing about our mission changes. Every dollar goes straight back into the community that built this. We're not becoming exclusive — we're staying sustainable, so we can keep doing this for the next five years and beyond.
We kept the door open and free for years. Now we're keeping the seat guaranteed — for you.

Years of sold-out rooms
Five years, dozens of events, thousands of connections made. The format works because the community shows up — every single month.

Questions, answered
Demand outgrew the room. For 5+ years these events were free — and they routinely filled past capacity, which meant people who RSVP'd couldn't always get in. A modest $19.99 ticket guarantees your seat, covers venue, food and drinks, and funds better events. Every dollar goes back into the community.
Founders and startup operators, VCs and angel investors, AI researchers, engineers from Google, Meta, Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, academics from Stanford and Berkeley, and professionals across biotech and fintech. The ticket keeps the room curated.
Guaranteed entry, food and drinks, access to the full evening — startup pitches, a fireside chat, and open networking — and priority access to future events.
Tickets are refundable up to 48 hours before the event and are always transferable — if you can't make it, send someone in your place. Refunds are handled through Eventbrite.
We feature a short set of curated startup pitches each month. Reach out via LinkedIn or email and tell us about your company — early-stage founders in the Persian tech community are especially encouraged.
