Founding Partner Program

Apply for founding access

Tehran Index works with a maximum of five founding partners: research firms, advisory and diligence teams, corporate strategy groups, investors, and newsrooms that need a verified, source-linked picture of Iran’s technology economy. Every claim we publish links to a public source. If that standard matters to your work, apply below.

Proof, not promises

Start with the flagship sample: a full company dossier with field-level sourcing and confidence labels. Read the Digikala dossier →

Founding partner terms

$1,500 / year for boutiques and small teams · $2,500 / year for institutions · capped at five seats for twelve months · list pricing (Pro from $3,000 / yr per seat, Team from $6,000 / yr for 2–5 seats, enterprise from $12,000 / yr) applies once the founding seats are filled. Terms are agreed over email; nothing is invoiced before scope is agreed.

What founding partners get
· One custom company dossier or a 10-company watchlist
· The weekly briefing (five verified signals + one analysis note, Fridays)
· A quarterly written Q&A: send your questions, get sourced answers
· Priority on research requests

We deliberately do not promise real-time feeds, API access, or investment recommendations.

Applications are reviewed weekly. Tehran Index publishes research based on publicly available information; it is not investment, legal, or compliance advice.
