Happy Sunday,
Innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about the people who challenge the status quo, rethink the way we work, and push industries forward. Each week, we uncover the stories of those shaping the future, from founders disrupting markets to creatives reimagining everyday experiences.
This week, we’re spotlighting Morvareed Z. Salehpour, the Managing Attorney of Salehpour Legal, a firm dedicated to providing proactive, high-touch legal counsel for startups and businesses. With deep expertise in contract negotiation, tech transactions, intellectual property licensing, AI, and emerging technologies, Morvareed has guided clients ranging from entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies.
