Mohammadreza (Sasan) Haghighifard began his academic journey with a bachelor’s degree in English Translation. Yet, his innate curiosity extended far beyond the confines of languages. His interest in the rapidly evolving world of technology prompted him to delve into computer science, tapping into the vast knowledge available on the internet. This combination of linguistics and technology served as a unique intersection in his career, allowing him to translate numerous books and occasionally step into the world of journalism.

As an entrepreneur with a penchant for blending education and technology, Sasan founded a language institute. But he didn’t stop there. Recognizing the future of technology, he established a computer company, solidifying his place at the nexus of language and tech.
However, academia still beckoned. He embarked on a rigorous journey that saw him earn two PhDs: one in Western Philosophy and the other in Cognitive Neuroscience. With this wealth of knowledge, he wore the hat of an educator, teaching Neuroscience, Psychology, and Philosophy at various renowned institutions. His expertise knew no borders, as he lectured in both Iran and the Netherlands.

Upon moving to Canada, Sasan’s entrepreneurial spirit soared anew. Here, he masterminded several ventures across varied domains. He founded Top100 Startups, which became a cornerstone for budding entrepreneurs. Brain Academy became a haven for those passionate about education. And with Smart Home Builders, he ventured into the realm of modern housing solutions, redefining living spaces.
Sasan’s life stands as a testament to the idea that boundaries are but lines waiting to be crossed. In the spheres of education, technology, business, and academia, he has left an indelible mark, proving that passion and perseverance can indeed lead to a life of diverse accomplishments.
