    “I am a serial entrepreneur in Silicon Valley who has experienced 4 IPOs as the early stage founding member and multiple major M&As in the past 26 years. I was the first and lead investor at Clever Sense's seed round of financing. I met Babak through Dr. Behnam Tabrizi, a good friend and professor at Stanford University where the idea behind Clever Sense was first pitched to me. Babak was accompanied by Nima Asgharbeygi, his co-founder and another brilliant P.h.D. student at Stanford. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the intelligence, level of commitment, passion and loyalty in Babak and Nima. Babak had done a great job studying the market with clear vision for Clever Sense's road map. The technology behind Clever Sense developed by Nima and Babak was so complex and superior that only super minds could have come up with that level of sophistication in algorithm and thought process. Babak was right on target with his vision and my positive impression became stronger as he demonstrated his leadership by attracting a solid and top notch team of experts, technologists and business management strategists to help executing his milestones. I was also impressed by seeing the first time CEO performing beyond investor expectations by setting and meeting goals on a consistent basis. Babak was a great role model for his team, although tough on expectations, every employee loved to be part of his success story. His level of integrity, transparency and high values created a healthy, winning work environment. Babak's multi-talent for technology, business strategy, management and finance separates him from many other entrepreneurs and CEOs I have seen in my career. Babak delivered a high quality product that positioned his company as the market leader and attracted major players in the industry which resulted in the Acquisition of Clever Sense by Google in Dec 2011. Babak is one of the most unique and talented entrepreneurs and leaders I have seen with great sense of business and technology. I will be the first investor behind Babak if he decides to start another company :) Babak has my highest recommendations. Farzad Naimi Managing Partner NaimiGroup & RONA Holdings”
