The Parvaz studio, drawnA three-storey studio building that grows from a small green seed. Ground floor: the build room. First floor: three ventures, one per window. Second floor: the founders’ room and the mentor’s room. On the corner, a traffic light on green. On the roof, a PARVAZ sign and a paper-plane weathervane. Each window opens a short note.IDEA → BUILD → MVP → CO-FOUNDER → VENTURE → PILOT → PRE-SEED → RESIDENCY → FUNDRAISE → SEED → SCALE → IDEA → BUILD → MVP → CO-FOUNDER → VENTURE → PILOT → PRE-SEED → RESIDENCY → FUNDRAISE → SEED → SCALE → PARVAZ STUDIOPARVAZ
