Ali Jahangiri grew up in Southern California where he attended UC Irvine and Loyola Law School. After graduating law school, he served as a securities attorney at Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth where he practiced for two years.
Jahangiri then left the practice of law and decided to build online communities in the fields of health care and law, which provided access to information online; these information online communities were later acquired in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
In 2012, Jahangiri launched Eb5investors using a similar community concept and a conference series which predominately connects business to business. A few years later, Jahangiri launched Uglobal Immigration Magazine which provides similar services in the global immigration industry. As a result of these investment immigration media businesses, Jahangiri has serviced an extensive list of clients in the industry and has created a public forum for businesses in the space to interact.
