Anyone who has been to a recent community event has probably already clued into this one, but just in case you’ve been out of the loop, Yalda Moshiri has joined Oregon Entrepreneurs Network as the new Angel Oregon Program Director.
According to her OEN profile…
Yalda Moshiri grew up in Silicon Valley where she was deeply influenced by the region’s entrepreneurial spirit, fueling her curiosity for innovation from an early age. As an immigrant, Yalda navigated the challenges of adapting to a new culture, which shaped her commitment to inclusivity and community support. She launched her career with renowned Fortune 50 companies, including Disney and Amazon, where she honed her expertise in business development and management. Her entrepreneurial spirit eventually led her to co-found a hardware startup in San Francisco and a marketplace startup in Portland, OR. In both ventures, Yalda prioritized uplifting and supporting underrepresented founders. Yalda is dedicated to strengthening early-stage entrepreneurs across Oregon. With her experience as an entrepreneur, she is well-equipped to guide and mentor emerging founders, helping them navigate the challenges of building successful businesses.
During her participation in PIE, I had the opportunity to support Yalda as she worked to build a consumer-facing marketplace app just prior to — and in the throes of — a global pandemic. Suffice it to say, she’s got some founder experience that will benefit local startup founders, both new and old.
