`About
Growing up in the Bay Area, Milan Kordestani was a socially conscious child eager to jump into the world of entrepreneurship at a young age. As a teenager, he founded his first company, Milan Farms, seeking to use innovative practices to modernize the farm egg industry. During his college years, he founded a pair of companies designed to give young entrepreneurs the tools they need to maintain control of their financial and creative destinies: Guin Records and Dormzi, a skills-oriented marketplace. Milan seeks to encourage civil discourse through The Doe, his cutting-edge media company providing anonymous narratives and values recognition tools. He continues to be driven by the inspiring passion of young entrepreneurs, now on display in his newest project, NextPlay.
Milan’s Companies

Skill-oriented marketplace revolutionizing youth freelancing.
The Doe
Civil discourse through anonymous narratives.

Guin Records
It’s time that the music industry became more about the music, and not about the industry. Guin is a Venice, CA-based hip hop label, dedicated to developing collective consciousness through storytelling. Our artists maintain financial and artistic control over their content and their destinies.
Dormzi
Many young people have skills that could translate into career success, if only they knew how to harness or market that talent. Dormzi empowers them through gamified skill-set recognition, acquisition, and promotion. The versatile marketplace keeps money in workers’ pockets. Dormzi’s cutting-edge Internship Connection Center will finally smash the university-internship pipeline that traps young people in unnecessary debt.
The Doe
The Doe began with an idea: by removing the ability to judge an author, we could encourage people to open up their minds to new points of view. Through vetted anonymous narratives, The Doe provides an outlet for rarely-heard voices and experiences. Now, with the Doe Prints subscriber feature, The Doe helps people recognize their values, break their echo chambers, and become more openminded and engaged.
NextPlay
Young entrepreneurs are always pushing themselves to do more. For young creatives, founders, and influencers, underlying that drive is a sense of purpose, and a powerful desire to make the world a better place. NextPlay is a multimedia company that creates a discursive space for purpose-driven entrepreneurs to show off their newest efforts. Now that you’ve made it, what’s your NextPlay?
