Our special and final guest of the year for TZLive was Kamran Pourzanjani CEO of Bestcovery and former CEO and Co-Founder of Pricegrabber. Bestcovery is the fastest and easiest way to find the best of everything. They have made researching the best simple by de-cluttering the information you need and organizing it into concise, easy to understand recommendations. With Bestcovery, you will no longer need to visit multiple sites that force you to sort through numerous pages of conflicting reviews, or be left to interpret and compare specifications on your own. They have done the research to recommend the best products and services for a variety of needs, uses and budgets to help you save time and money.
Prior to Bestcovery Kamran was the co-founder and former CEO of PriceGrabber.com and was responsible for the company’s operations, strategic direction and growth. His vision fostered a culture of success and achievement at PriceGrabber, making the company one of the leading online shopping comparison sites with over 24 million monthly unique users. Under his leadership, PriceGrabber received the “Internet Company of the Year” award from the Southern California Software Council, and was recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the nation, according to both Inc. Magazine and the “Deloitte Technology Fast 500.” In recognition of his achievements and company’s performance he was named Ernst & Young’s “Entrepreneur of the Year” for the Business Services category.
