Millions of Iranians live, study, research and build around the world.
What if we could find each other?
Your roots, extended globally.
RisheX is a network where every Iranian, anywhere, can say what they need and what they can give — and be connected to the closest match. Not a feed. Not a job board.
- Find a mentor
- Meet a collaborator
- Share what you know
- Give a seminar
- Join a project
- Connect across borders
Open to anyone — student, postdoc, engineer, physician, professor, founder. “Founding” describes the list, not the people on it: this is where the first cohort is drawn from, and the first cohort is deliberately mixed across career stages and disciplines.
The platform is still being built. This is how the first cohort is assembled — by hand, one person at a time.
What this is, and what it is not
It is a list, not an acceptance
You get a number, permanently. The first cohort is 500 people and a person reads every entry. Being on the list is not membership, and we would rather say so now than imply otherwise.
Nothing you write here is published
Not your name, not your country, not your city. There is no public roster and there will not be one — several of the people joining are inside Iran, and a list of names would be the one thing that puts them at risk.
No money, ever
No payments, no subscriptions, no transfers. That is a deliberate constraint on what RisheX is allowed to be, not a feature we have not got to.
We start connecting people before the software exists
When two people on this list obviously fit — someone who needs a mentor and someone offering mentorship in the same field — we introduce them by email. That happens now, not at launch.
