Career
Before co-founding CrowdVolt, Mohseni held several positions at Guidepoint Global, a research and consulting firm, where he progressed from associate to manager of research and subsequently to project manager. He also held a role as VP of Partnerships and Growth Operations at FreeFuse Inc.
Mohseni co-founded CrowdVolt alongside Max Hammer. The company describes itself as "the integration layer for live events infrastructure" and operates an automated marketplace for buying and selling tickets to raves and EDM events.[3] The platform uses a bid-ask model, in which ticket prices are set by sellers and may be above or below face value, with the aim of providing buyers with more affordable pricing and greater transparency compared to traditional secondary ticket markets.
CrowdVolt was accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and is based in New York City. The company operates in the marketplace, entertainment, music, social network, and infrastructure sectors. In July 2024, TechCrunch profiled CrowdVolt, noting its approach to disrupting the secondary ticket market through its user-centric model. The platform lists events at venues across the United States, including notable locations such as Factory Town and Club Space.
Mohseni resides in Brooklyn, New York.
