5 Iranian-American Siblings Who Harnesses the Power of Family to Find Success
A closer look at Iranian-American sibling entrepreneurs who are making waves in their respective industries
As an Iranian-American and entrepreneur, I have a special place in my heart for young Iranian-Americans who find success. I believe in supporting Iranian-Americans who can start their own businesses, create art, or just try to make the world a better place. It’s even more exciting when Iranian-American siblings come together to do something really special.
I co-founded Guin Records with my sister, Misha Kordestani, back in 2018. Since then, we’ve signed a couple artists and grown our startup together. It’s difficult to explain, but the power of two siblings working together builds on the foundational understanding we have of one another. After all, wouldn’t you rather start a business with someone you’ve known your entire life, as opposed to a brand new investor or business partner?
Culture also plays a huge role in the operation of our label. Iranian culture is very family-centric, so it’s no surprise that there are dozens of Iranian-American siblings who also happen to be successful entrepreneurs.
