A +1bil. valuation without any VC support.  This is virtually unheard of in the US.  Congrats to Shahrzad Rafati and Mehrdad Fatourechi for making it happen.  But it makes you wonder how many other tech unicorns this city could have created if only they got VC funding/expertise.   Few can pull off what Shahrzad and Mehrdad have.
