Farzad Nazifi
Technical Founder & Investor
I started as an iOS engineer at Marco Polo in 2014. Since then I have co‑founded RedDoor, which Opendoor acquired, led finance engineering at Opendoor, and founded the venture studio Bubble8, which merged with Growth Factory Ventures.
Today I am building Pitch Protocol and serve as CTO and Partner at Growth Factory Ventures, where I build and invest in early‑stage startups. This site is where I keep notes on what I learn along the way.
