Our story
A bridge between Iranian ideas and the people who believe in them.
Padasha began with a belief: this land's best products haven't been made yet, because their makers had no way to pay for production.
- All or nothing
- Checked creators
- Followed to delivery
Why Padasha?
In Iran, starting production means a heavy loan or selling a share. Padasha is a third way: people buy the product before it is made, and the maker starts production with that money.
Ideas should not stay ideas
Every maker with a good idea should be able to make it without loans or middlemen.
Open at every step
From budget to schedule, backers should know where their money goes.
Fair to both sides
All or nothing protects backers and lets makers test the market.
A community, not just a market
Backers shape products with their feedback, not just buy them.
Three ways to start production
A maker with an idea but no capital usually has these options.
A bank loan
- Drawback: Needs collateral and a guarantor
- Drawback: Repayments with interest, sold or not
- Drawback: No market test before production
- Advantage: You keep full ownership
Selling a share
- Drawback: You give up part of the company
- Drawback: Finding an investor takes months
- Drawback: No market test before production
- Advantage: No debt
Pre-selling on Padasha
Recommended- Advantage: No collateral, no interest

- Advantage: You know there is demand before you make it
- Advantage: Backers are with you from day one
