#145 Always in the Mood for Great Food - Masha Darabi, Moody Chai

In the late 1980's Mahsa Darabi's family made the big immigration jump from Iran to Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA. That's the real beginning of her company, The Moody Persian, because it was Mahsa's heritage from Iran that she learned to fall back on and from which to draw both strength and happiness. As a Middle Easterner dropped into a very Western culture, she endured the slurs and laughter sent her way by those who saw her as different. At first this was humiliating to her, but then she found that clinging to her culture and background made her proud that she had a different point of view on life and that her point of view was warm and beautiful. And much of that culture revolved around succulent food shared at a big table with family, friends, singing and dancing. As Mahsa began cooking and sharing her Iranian dishes with others, the heckling and cat calling started to die down and the cultural gap began to evaporate. Once again, the power of sitting down together and sharing a meal broke down previous cultural barriers. Mahsa had another talent as it turned out. Starting at about 14 years old, she began acting in TV commercials and launched a budding modeling career. Yet again, she found her background “differences” – her facial and body features – that made her feel like an ugly duckling were considered exotic and exactly what modeling agencies look for. Then COVID rocked her life, cutting off her work and leaving her in terror for the health of her family, including the recent birth of their third child. This is where Mahsa turned again to the power of cooking and sitting down to a meal together. She didn't want her daughters to Zoom away their day, so she started teaching them science, math and culinary arts. She had them all in the kitchen cooking and preparing meals and that made sitting down together afterward an even richer experience. Mahsa has always found the kitchen as the place where she could concentrate, and it was there that the idea for her company was born. She always liked being in front of the camera so she decided to share recipes on Instagram. Then, when assembling recipes to write a book, Mahsa remembered that there was usually some person who inspired her to create that recipe and put her into the mood to create that dish. The Moody Persian name was born. Also part of her Iranian/Persian culture is tea, and she drinks lots. Too much as it turned out, as she was getting the jitters from too much caffeine. So she looked for decaffeinated tea but did not like the taste and longed for the spices and richness of her home tea but without the caffeine. Back to the kitchen, Mahsa took a year of experimenting and came up with Moody Chai, which is available on her website. Mahsa has been a finalist on Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. She's also been a real estate agent, private chef, accidental influencer, and has enjoyed an enduring career as a model and actor in the Portland area for over 20 years.

All three women were emerging managers at their own respective funds: Soraya is a co-founder and general partner of TMV, an early-stage venture fund; Virginie is founder and managing partner of FullCircle, a preseed and seed-stage fund; and Heather is CEO and general partner of Human Ventures, a venture studio and fund.Alongside Alexia Bonatsos, founder of venture fund Dream Machine, and Marina Hadjipateras, Soraya's partner at TMV, the women began conducting weekly calls together that they jokingly referred to as “Transact” because of how transactional these meetings felt. They suspected that other women who were trying to raise their first funds would benefit from calls like these, and they soon formalized the conversations to include others who were interested.And just like that, Transact Global was born. Today, Transact is nearly 200 members strong and growing, with emerging managers from over 15 countries meeting together on a bi-weekly basis to share best practices, discover which LPs are allocating capital, and help each other move further and faster together. The women of Transact stay connected through a weekly newsletter, a Slack channel, a Whatsapp group chat, and fundraising pods.Learn more about TMV ›Learn more about FullCircle ›Learn more about Human Ventures ›

In this episode, MBO Partners talks to Soraya about her life as an investor in this space but also about her own journey as a female founder, a number of times over, and what she sees as the trends worth watching in independent work and beyond.Soraya talks about her experience being a female founder (her first company Foodspotting was sold to Open Table and later Priceline) and how she saw a need for a playbook to level the playing field for “non-obvious entrepreneurs” like herself and why she founded TMV to help fill that gap. She also talks about her prescient 2007 comment that “social media founder and their platforms will be more powerful than the President of the United States” and how that insight sprang from her early experience partnering with social media companies on behalf of traditional media industries. She goes on to talk about how corporate players and startups can partner to disrupt the status quo and closes by discussing the critical role and power of platforms, content, and community in creating transformative change for the 1099 workforce and how to design an inclusive, hopeful future of work in a world increasingly impacted by AI.

Helt ärligt med Sebastian Stakset

Jag träffade Vendela på ett SIS-hem för ett par år sen. När jag berättade för henne att det inte var nått fel på henne utan på systemet hon växt upp i och att hon var älskad så började hon gråta. Hon grät så häftigt men helt ljudlöst. När jag insåg att hon lärt sig tekniken att panikgråta ljudlöst för att inte personalen skulle höra gick mitt  hjärta sönder. När hon senare berättade om hennes liv så var det min tur att gråta. Hennes öde är så smärtsamt men trots det mörkret hon gått igenom så har hon tagit sig igenom på andra sidan. Och det mina vänner är den sanna definitionen av en krigare. Det här är Vendela och hennes skrämmande skildring av hur Sverige behandlar sina minsta och mest utsatta.

Thank you for listening to the Leaders, Innovators and Big Ideas podcast, supported by Rainforest Alberta.  The podcast that highlights those people who are contributing to and/or supporting the innovation ecosystem in Alberta. Another episode from Edmonton hosted by Christopher Drobot.  Christopher Drobot is a passionate cheerleader for the potential of the Edmonton region. Although not directly an entrepreneur himself, his extensive experience in business operations and now mortgage lending help focus his excitement on the ideas that can see the city grow. He is involved in the push to bring a world-class aquarium to the city, is completing an MBA, and – together with his wife – homeschools his two children. The parallels between entrepreneurialism and homeschooling have been many, and he sees an overarching lesson in both: you have to create the world you wish to see. Mason Darabi is a National Leader, Agriculture Data at MNP and a Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) candidate with an educational background in Engineering and Management. He is a blockchain enthusiast, an entrepreneurship fanatic seasoned with over 10 years of experience in Information Technology and Business Development in both Information Technology and Agriculture industries. Mason’s unique work-experience and skill set have enabled him to bridge the gap between the technical and business/financial matters which are both key pillars of success in any venture. He has tremendous passion in supporting the technology ecosystem and collaborating as a team player at Alberta Blockchain Consortium (ABC) as well as the Tech Niche at MNP towards building a strong and vibrant blockchain community in Alberta as an enabler of the prosperity and diversity of the province’s economy. Angelo Talamayan is leading the tech initiative in MNP’s Edmonton office, and he brings a varied perspective and enriches the conversation with his wealth of knowledge across many disciplines. He was a master-mind behind PwC’s involvement with Startup Edmonton, and he is also a big supporter of the Rainforest Alberta, having helped sign MNP’s sponsorship with the organization in Edmonton. A driven and client-focused Business Development professional with over ten years of business development, Angelo has both accounting and entrepreneurship/small business experience. He is a natural leader who excels in building strong relationships through an engaging and motivational approach, and he is focused on continually building and evolving the business development function to best support the organization’s continued growth & success. A sizzling 20 under 30 in Edmonton (2014), Angelo has been involved in numerous community organizations and causes. Please be sure to share this episode with everyone you know. If you are interested in being either a host, a guest, or a sponsor of the show, please reach out.  We are published in Google Podcasts and the iTunes store for Apple Podcasts.  We would be grateful if you could give us a rating as it helps spread the word about the show. Show Summary: Aim high, seek advice from your mentors, explore the "corporate startup" opportunities within the walls of your company, take advantage of the #scaling power of the corporate world and marry it with the #nimbleness and #agility of a startup to be at the forefront of disruption in your industry. The final word: "have more conversations" We discussed a great deal about the importance of taking calculated risks – of finding ways to push the boundaries of a larger corporate structure to allow for innovation to occur within the organization (in order to gain access to the resources the company has, and to de-risk the startup model somewhat). While the historical startup model has glorified the risk-takers, and those who take that giant leap of faith by jumping out of the corporate world – parachute or not – Mason and Angelo contend there is also a place for those who want to push the boundaries of their companies as well, and who can find ways to support the startup ecosystem in the ways they approach innovation. Along that vein: can new business models be developed where big corporations are in partnership with local startups in the communities they inhabit? As Mason said: Have more conversations to find the answers to these, and as yet unasked, questions. Show Quote: ""  Credits... This Episode Sponsored By: Capturing Legacies Inc.

It’s 1979 and the Islamic Revolution has erupted. The situation in Iran is deteriorating -- paranoia and mistrust under a heavy-handed regime have made it unsafe for many to stay in the country. Escaping with his wife and 5-month-old daughter is the only option left for a navy captain who is affiliated with the former Shah regime. Leaving family, friends and all of their possessions behind, they flee to Athens, Greece with the hope of receiving the UK visas they’ve applied for. It’s a risky move that puts the family in limbo for several years. Tehran-born, Gelareh Darabi is an environmental correspondent for Al Jazeera English and National Geographic. Over the past decade, Gelareh has reported from countries like Haiti, Afghanistan, Iran and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Countries the media often portrays as hostile and dangerous.

Our guest today is Soraya Darabi ( https://www.trailmix.vc/team ) , General Partner at Trail Mix Ventures ( https://www.trailmix.vc/ ) where she focuses on the future of living well. Previously, she worked at the New York Times, co-founded Foodspotting (acq. by OpenTable) and Zady. Some of her investments include Classtag, The Wing, and Alleyoop. Lots of insights on this episode as Soraya shares her amazing experiences both as a founder and investor, so without further ado, here's Soraya. And there you have it. It was really great chatting with Soraya, I highly recommend following her on Twitter @sorayadarabi. You can also follow your host, Mike, on Twitter @mikegelb ( https://twitter.com/MikeGelb ). You can also follow for episode announcements @consumervc ( https://twitter.com/ConsumerVc ). Some of the questions that I ask Soraya - * What attracted you first to media and then becoming an entrepreneur? * Why the switch to VC and how did TMV come together? * Diligence process for founders? * What's your check size? How do you think about the different fundraising stages and the overall early stage investing ecosystem? * I heard in a previous interview that you invest in the “care economy”. What is the care economy if you could break that down for us? * Since you invest in both enterprise and consumer, is your diligence process and milestones different for each type of business? * How do you approach market sizing? * Wanted to talk about COVID - * Is it harder finding conviction in founders when meeting virtually rather than in person? * Are you seeing more or less new companies during COVID? * Has working from home been more difficult? * What is one thing that you would change when it came to venture capital? * What's one company you had the opportunity to invest in, didn't, and in retrospect wish you did?
