My name is Bardia Housman. I’m an entrepreneur. I love business. To me, building a business is like painting on an invisible canvas that only you can see in its early years. I’ve had businesses all my life and so far I’ve built and exited two successful technology companies. My last company was acquired by Adobe where I worked for a number of years, so I've been to both sides and back. I call Australia home but have been living in San Francisco since 2008. I’m married and have a beautiful wife and daughter. Nowadays I live and breathe business ideas. I see opportunities in almost anything I look at. And I love dissecting them.

I grew up with a Commodore Amiga. I used to run a large, multi-node BBS in Sydney, Australia at the beginning of the ‘90s. I studied a bachelor of business so I'm more of a business guy with no formal training in computer science. Nonetheless I wrote the entire application for both of my acquired companies. I love news and politics. I also love sports – if I could ski all day, I would. I hate the fact that I miss out on my dose of watching cricket and rugby by living in the US, but am starting to enjoy the American sports – go figure! I also love watching [English] soccer – in fact this is what I like to have on TV when no one else is at home. Last but not least, I'm intrigued by the golden color of beer.
