Khurram Pirov

OSINT Profile

Tajik-born founder operating between Dubai, Doha, San Francisco and a Russian legal entity. Runs XReady Lab — immersive K-12 STEM content (VR, web and PC libraries for biology, physics, chemistry, maths) shipped with an AI tutor, sold to schools; the company's own site claims 800+ schools and a 75+ language footprint and lists ByteDance, MOBIO, Meta, Harvard Medical School, American School of Dubai, Mathnasium, Imagine Cup and 500 Global in its logo wall. The Russian entity ООО «ИКС РЭДИ ЛЭБ» (ИНН 9731053156, ОГРН 1197746602822) is registered at Skolkovo Innovation Centre, Bolshoy Boulevard 30 bldg 1, room 225-9, Moscow — he is both general director and a 48.45% founder, with Kirill Parinov among the other founders. Quantum-optics background (MIPT) with computer-vision research at Samsung AI Center and Oz Forensics; STEM-olympiad and quantum-optics publications; also fronts Stemmy, a gamification-as-a-service line. ACTIVE IN THE GULF FOUNDER CIRCUIT: spoke at the 24SIX9 TGIF lecture series in Riyadh and appears in Crunch-branded Dubai founder groups. ARR, LABELLED AND CONTRADICTED: a '$10M ARR stealth scale-up' is CLAIMED (see the $UM-Radar index post) — Russian statutory filings put 2025 revenue at 8.8M RUB, roughly $110k at 2025 rates, with 5 staff and 12k RUB charter capital (Rusprofile, Checko, T-Bank, audit-it). Both numbers can be true only if the revenue is booked outside the Russian entity, and no filing surfaced proves that: confidence LOW-MEDIUM on the ARR, HIGH on role, education and product. NAME-DISAMBIG: not the Kazakhstani or Uzbek namesakes in unrelated sectors. Public OSINT only; not investment advice. DEAL CONTEXT HE APPEARS INSIDE: the Crunch / 24SIX9 Dubai founder circuit frames the same thread as the May-July 2026 AHOY x Wrk story — a nine-figure acquisition agreement announced 12 May 2026 from Web Summit Vancouver (Osler advised Wrk) and the Montréal North American R&D hub announced on the Startupfest Grand Quai stage on 8 July 2026, with Mile-Ex / 6666 Rue Saint-Urbain named as the announced R&D base. Deal size and hub headcount are reporter-sourced, not filed: INDEPENDENTLY REPORTED, MEDIUM confidence on the figures.
