A letter from our founder

“Wealth exists for one reason: to better serve the world.”

My biggest inspiration in life has been my grandfather, who served as a parliamentarian in Iran during the revolution and left a legacy of tireless and graceful service. 

World Within is a manifestation of his lessons, applied to the world of wealth. We’re founded on the belief that you can’t reform broken systems – you have to build new ones. We reject an economy rigged for the few and fight for one that redistributes power to the many. 

The future will be built by communities reclaiming power. World Within is building this future – the same one my grandfather always envisioned – one investment and one story at a time.
