About
Eranshahr is a research and production studio. Our goal is to make Iranian culture, history, and mythology accessible to a global audience. Through various projects, our team uncovers and reinterprets cultural knowledge, sharing it as free online resources and through physical books and games available in our shop.
Method
Eranshahr operates through a volunteer-based research collective. Teams gather virtually from around the world to document, visualize, and translate different aspects of Iranian culture, including mythology, folklore, history, language, and art. Over the years, hundreds of contributors have helped build and refine our open source cultural archives and digital projects.
Our Timeline
Eranshahr started as a passion project in 2020, founded by Mohammad Rasoulipour on the conviction that Iranian culture deserves a modern, high-quality platform to make the story of Iranians more accessible internationally.
In 2023 Eranshahr became a registered Limited Liability Company in the state of Missouri and made its first purchasable physical product available in the US.
In 2025, Eranshahr became a registered trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Our Financial Model
Eranshahr is self-funded and independent. The company began with the founder, Mohammad Rasoulipour’s personal investment and is sustained entirely through the sale of the products we create, including books, games, and other cultural goods available in our Gift Shop. The sales of our physical products are exclusive to the United States and Germany, while we have bookstore partners in Canada, Australia, and the UK.
We do not accept donations, grants, or external funding, which ensures complete neutrality and freedom from political or institutional influence.
Our revenue is reinvested into:
creation of new books, games, and physical products
cultural research
advertisement of physical products and digital projects
company operations (web hosting, tools)
