Illuminating the Path from Vision to Venture

Our Mission

To empower founders with the resources, networks, and capital they need to build ventures that thrive and create lasting impact.

Our Vision

That’s what BrightNorth delivers.

What founders say about working with Bahareh

“As a startup founder & CEO, you are forging a new path and learning to embrace early failures to ultimately help form the future version of yourself, your business and the new world as you shape it. It’s a lonely journey where critique comes by easily and few doors open. It is when you meet someone like Bahareh, that suddenly what feels insurmountable forms into a clear set of choices and actions. Bahareh has been instrumentable for me and my team in helping us understand how to move forward with MVP development. From finding partners, to providing guidance and simply being on hand to counsel. We wouldn’t be where we are without her help. She has gone from contact, to consultant, to an integral part of our business, to now what we proudly call a friend. Onwards and upwards.”
