ABOUT ZED

Who we are

about us

Saman Zomorodi (that's a “Z” as in “Zed”) formed Zed Design Development to collaborate with real estate development companies to improve the built environment of communities within the Washington DC Metro Area. He soon realized a pattern emerged: Most entrepreneurs identified access to capital as a primary pain point and barrier to growth in their business ventures.

Given Saman's background in real estate development and financing, he built up a network of private lending institutions, high net-worth individuals, and commercial banks to provide debt funding for real estate owners looking to make impactful change. He formed Zed Funding, and had helped over 20 borrowers place over $60 Million in loans.

Saman Zomorodi has a Bachelor of Science of Architecture from University of Virginia and a Master's in Real Estate and Infrastructure from John Hopkins Carey Business School
