Istiaque Zaman

Never heard of me?

I'm Zaman. 17. IT Director of Dewey LeBoeuf and currently building Lawkit. I've never waited for permission to build.

It started with speedcubing, obsessing over solving things faster than everyone else. That pulled me into competitive math, and I became a Bangladesh Math Olympiad National Winner. Then I got bored. So I started building companies instead.

I taught myself product, growth, and design by shipping things and watching what worked. Built nonprofit systems reaching 5M+ people, launched SaaS products to thousands of users, and became the youngest BASIS National ICT Awardee, beating well-funded adult startups. At 17, I walked into an IT Director role at Dewey LeBoeuf UAE, contributed to Fortune 500 client acquisitions, and 3x'd their inbound pipeline in 6 months. No degree. No connections. Just results.

Our team's healthtech project BloodBag reached the UN General Assembly. Previously we also received The Resolution Fellowship and was nominated in the APICTA multiple times. I've been recognized by HackerNoon globally, accepted into Leangap , one of the world's most selective fellowships for high school founders, and built systems converting 90+ clients monthly.

In my free time I explore business ideas I'll probably never build, spot a market gap at 11pm, design a full brand kit by 1am, drop it in my ideas bucket, repeat. That bucket is embarrassingly full. No regrets.

Currently: growing a law firm, launching a SaaS, learning about legal-tech and designing brands for companies that don't exist yet.

If you're building something worth joining, I'm probably already thinking about how to grow it.
