Conscious Entrepreneurship.
Building ventures that blend technology, design and conscious consumerism, turning progress into presence and innovation into something deeply human.
Keynote 04 · Ventures built with intention
Sanaz builds companies the way she makes art: intention first. This keynote walks through four very different ventures she founded, co-founded or shaped: UnitedWeDance, a social enterprise where every artwork funds its own story; smarterbrain.ai, a privacy-first AI assistant that keeps your data on a server that is yours; SanazGroup, where she now advises UIXA, a young design studio carrying her client work forward; and her volunteer classroom with Wings of Change in Madagascar.
The thread through all four: conscious choices at the points where most ventures default. Who owns the data. Who captures the value. Who gets taught. Sanaz makes the case that these choices are not the price of doing good business; they are the strategy.
Progress into presence, and innovation into something deeply human.
Founders leave with a decision framework for values under pressure: what to protect when investors push, what to automate and what to keep human, and how to build brands people trust because they have earned it.
For builders who want to build differently.
Ideal for founder communities, accelerators and business schools. Sanaz tailors the venture deep-dives to the stage of your audience.
