Business model & group
What the platform does, as its investor describes itSix months ended 20 January 2026Official record
A freelancing marketplace covering music, print, writing, photography, journalism, programming, graphic design, editing, website design and some technical and architectural work, letting a buyer commission a service without a long-term employment commitment
Firouzeh venture fund, audited interim financial statements, explanatory note 11-1, filed on Codal ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-02The fund dates the business to about 2011. This is the investor's characterisation in a regulated filing, not the company's own marketing.
Leadership
Leadership leadSince c. mid-2024Third-party reported
Hossein Esmaeili lists himself as CEO and Board Member of Ponisha, 2 yrs 3 mo in role, with a prior background across business development, operations, digital marketplaces and mobility.
LinkedIn (self-reported profile, single source) · retrieved 2026-08-01Single-source LinkedIn lead, not a confirmed holder. The ceo field is deliberately left blank until a second source or a registry anchor appears. Note the Ponisha entity pairing itself is still unproven (see verification note).
Ownership & capital
Brand to operator, on the state e-commerce registerOfficial record
The licence holder of this domain is پویندگان نیرو شایسته منطقه آزاد انزلی. The passage is quoted verbatim in the source passage.
eNamad business certificate, Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-17The eNamad certificate is issued against the domain, so it ties the brand to the company without relying on name similarity. Granted 4 July 2014, valid until 15 February 2027.
Institutional investorSix months ended 20 January 2026Official record
Firouzeh venture fund (صندوق سرمایه گذاری جسورانه فیروزه), which names Ponisha as a portfolio company in its audited statements
Firouzeh venture fund, audited interim financial statements, explanatory note 11-1, filed on Codal ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-02Recovered from the shareholder rather than the company: Ponisha publishes no accounts, and a Codal-filing fund must disclose what it holds. The fund states it invested on a seven-year horizon following a board permit in February to March 2021.
