Darian Shirazi
Darian Shirazi currently lives in Berkeley, CA and is the CEO of a stealth startup that was funded in March by Gilman Louie, Peter Thiel, and an unnamed director of a New York-based private equity firm. Before working on his current company, he worked at eBay in high school as an intern and then for almost two years at Facebook while attending the University of California, Berkeley. After leaving Facebook in the fall, he sold his first company, Fotodunk, with his friends to the online music social network iLike.
