His Dubai work is organised around a company and a set of vertical products — software for specific industries rather than generic development hours.

Rozamoon — Dubai-based web development

What did he build before Dubai?

Amir Erfani's reputation as a tech founder was built over two decades in Isfahan, one of Iran's largest cities.

  • 2005 — Mahsool.com. His first venture.
  • 2008 — Sepano Data Processing. A software engineering company that has delivered web, mobile and IoT systems for more than 17 years, including national-scale paperless and document-management projects for water and sewage companies in Isfahan, West Azarbaijan and Hamedan, and traffic-control systems combining IoT with AI.
  • 2016 — Shipnow. An online transportation system that became the most used of its kind in Isfahan, created jobs for 6,000 drivers by 2022 and grew sales 6000% in five years — fully bootstrapped.
  • Products that followed: Duvita, Meydoon (a social marketplace PWA), Shipshop and others built by the same engineering team.

The full story is in From Isfahan to Dubai: the journey of an Iranian entrepreneur and the Shipnow case study.

Why is Amir Erfani called an Iranian tech founder in Dubai?

Because both halves are true. He is Iranian by origin and has spent his career founding technology companies; his current products are built for, sold in and branded for the Dubai market, with .ae domains and UAE customers. The engineering depth behind those products was built in Iran; the market they serve is Dubai and the wider Gulf.

How does he run companies across Iran and Dubai?

With a cross-border model: brand, sales and customer relationships face Dubai, while product engineering stays with a team that has worked together for years. It combines local trust where the customer is with engineering continuity where the company's roots are. How the cross-border team model works.

Where else has his team delivered work?

Beyond Iran and the UAE, his teams have delivered online reservation automation for Hotel Hennies in Hanover, Germany, and practice automation for a dental-implant clinic in Oakland, California — 16 projects across Iran, the UAE, Germany and the USA. See all of them on the projects page.

What can other founders learn from his path?

  • Prove it at home first. Shipnow's numbers made every later conversation in Dubai easier.
  • Enter Dubai with products, not hours. Hotels, restaurants and real estate each got a dedicated product.
  • Keep the team. Long-tenured engineering is the real asset that travels across borders.
