About Shanaz Hemmati
Shanaz Hemmati is co-founder and COO at ZenBusiness, a platform that helps people start their businesses and handle the back-office work that comes with it, including formation, compliance, and ongoing G&A. ZenBusiness is structured as a public benefit corporation and was last valued at $1.7B, with employees distributed across 30 states.
Hemmati is a technical operator. She and co-founder Ross Buhrdorf built ZenBusiness around the thesis that small business owners need a platform that handles back-office work so they can focus on the thing they are actually good at. Before ZenBusiness she was a senior operator at HomeAway, where she helped scale the company through hyper-growth and its IPO. At ZenBusiness she runs the technology and data side of the business and oversees the company's public benefit programs, including a customer grant program that awards funding to small business owners every month.
