Start-up Visa gives nod to Ara Labs Security Solutions' founders

Ehsan Mokhtari and Hadi Shiravi Khozani, co-founders of Ara Labs Security Solutions Inc, are the latest successful applicants under the Start-up Visa Program, launched by the federal government in 2013 to attract foreign entrepreneurs to Canada. Ara Labs, a Fredericton, New Brunswick-based online fraud monitoring platform, was launched by the Iranian-born founders with a February 2014 investment from New Brunswick Innovation Foundation and Technology Ventures Corp. The first successful Start-up Visa applicants were Zeetl Inc's founders. Zeetl was in September acquired by Hootsuite Media.
