  • Raya Bidshahri (Persian: ريا بيدشهری) is an Iranian educator and entrepreneur, known for founding the online learning platform Awecademy. She was named one of the BBC's 100 Women for 2019. Bidshahri has been described as a futurist. Bidshahri was born in Iran, but grew up in Dubai. There, she was a co-founder of Cafe Scientifique Dubai and a founding member of SciFest Dubai. At age 19, she moved alone to the United States to study neuroscience at Boston University, where she also worked with startups like SheWorks! and co-founded a social media platform called Intelligent Optimism. When US President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13780 on March 6, 2017, limiting visas for immigrants from Iran, Bidshahri decided it was too risky to begin a startup in Silicon Valley as she had planned. Instead, after she completed her B.S., she moved to Toronto, Canada in June 2017, and began Awecademy as a Canadian business. Bidshahri is a regular contributing journalist for the online publication Singularity Hub. (en)
