Early struggles
Said Shiripour knows what it's like to struggle: born in Iran, his family immigrated to Germany when he was 11. Said imposed the challenge on himself of learning new customs and acquiring new languages, he now fluently speaks German and English in addition to his mother tongue, Farsi.
Said Shiripour followed the ‘normal teenager path’ and went to university to study industrial engineering (focus on computer science). During his time at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (Germany), he began to feel resentment towards ‘the vision of the life of a hard-working immigrant’ which prompted him to explore ways to become free and financially independent. After careful consideration, he dropped out of uni and went on to pursue what he really wanted: creating an internet-based business and achieving financial independence.
Concerned about his long-term future, Shiripour’s parents urged him to continue his studies. Yet, despite these objections, he stuck with his dream to become a successful businessman, a “millionaire,” and create jobs to give back to society.
An entrepreneur on the rise
Said Shiripour has been playing around with marketing for much of his adult life. It was while Said was still in college that he knew he'd need to experience affiliate marketing for himself, so he read books, watched videos and eventually took action. He started his own online marketing company while still in his 20s, after never giving up on his dream. His determination is palpable!
There were countless nights Shiripour spent testing and trialing new digital products. It was through this trial and error that Said Shiripour’s vision for turning his knowledge into a revenue stream came alive.
Shortly after the success of his first company, Said Shiripour co-founded WebinarFly, they did so with the hopes of establishing a WordPress-based software program that would be designed to automate the webinar and conversion process.
During his time at WebinarFly, Said partnered with hundreds of marketers and marketing experts in various fields, helping them create and promote appealing webinars helping content creators and businesses reach millions of people.
Fast-forward another year, Shiripour co-founded Memberwunder, a plugin designed to help web admins create members-only areas of a website. It also includes features that allow its users to galvanize brand loyalty. During his time at Memberwunder, the company brought in more than €5 million in revenue.
Shiripour had a tough time as an entrepreneur, and one of the many things he missed was having a single platform to help him manage all his digital marketing needs. In 2019, he founded EZFunnels, an intelligent automation and marketing tool. Although his previous offerings were very successful they did not cover all marketing needs and as such Said founded EZFunnels.
Pursuing growth
Said Shiripour had to overcome many obstacles before he achieved his first major success. As with any journey in life, there were ups and downs. These obstacles are what encouraged Said Shiripour to begin working harder and with more intensity to grow his new business. Said successfully expanded his company to offer new products, services, and solutions.
Said Shiripour has been in the industry (digital marketing) for a while and really elevated his profile and decided to share his story. His first book, "Das Perfekte Online Business" (The Perfect Online Business) was released in 2018.
His goal is to help entrepreneurs generate more leads and sales for their businesses. Said believes that entrepreneurs are the only people who make our world better a better place. His mission is to empower them, with the skills and tools he is creating together with his team.
EZFunnels.com emerges
While Said’s previous companies were supporting thousands of business owners, he knew there was still a gap in the market. EZFunnels was launched in 2019 to close this gap. EzFunnels became the first of its kind SaaS platform that offers all the tools, templates, and practical help required for aspiring business owners to grow their businesses. It has proven to be a resounding success!
Soon, Said Shiripour had over twenty dedicated software engineers working for his business, along with more than 2,500 active product users from over one hundred industries. EZFunnels specifically delivers as many as 5000 or more monthly sales leads for customers spanning across 100 industry verticals
While Shiripour expected his business to succeed, the speed with which he achieved his long-term dream came as somewhat of a surprise.

EZFunnels is specifically designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs unfamiliar with the ins and outs of digital marketing, and who can't afford to hire their own digital marketing experts.
"As a full-stack marketer, I acquired comprehensive expertise across paid, organic, and social channels, and have crafted impactful strategies for landing pages and conversion rate optimization,” explains Shiripour. “However, in my conversations with entrepreneurs, I found that digital marketing had in many ways become inaccessible."

Living In The Moment
Over the past several years, EZFunnels has grown into a driving industry force. Said is still heavily involved in the company's continual improvement and growth. However, Shiripour focuses his spare time on enjoying the simple things in life with his wife and young daughter.
