The title will mislead you into thinking that Iran is a communist (economically) country. I doubt that's the case because, though I am not Iranian and have never been to Iran, I have hundreds of Iranian friends whose families in Iran own big and small businesses. Some examples that come to mind immediately are a friend whose dad runs a medical diagnostic lab in Tehran, another whose family (brothers) runs an advertising agency, and one whose family manufactures household cleaning agents. Web entrepreneurship might not be thriving like in the US, but that is not the only kind of entrepreneurship and this title can lead one into believing that there are no successful entrepreneurs in Iran.

PS Mad props to Startup Weekend.
