Mahan Bolourchi
Founder |

Mahan Bolourchi founded TREVEX with a mission shaped by lived experience: that too many businesses—especially in emerging markets—are held back not by ambition, but by access. With over 20 years in trade credit insurance, risk, reinsurance, and structured finance, he has led the 360° operations of the world’s largest credit insurance company and built credit insurance portfolios from the ground up in new and emerging markets.  

His work includes creating world-class credit insurance frameworks that connect capital with commerce and deliver scalable protection for businesses of all sizes. His career spans global insurers’ boardrooms to the frontlines of SME struggles, where outdated systems and rigid risk perceptions shut doors to opportunity.

Refusing the status quo, Mahan blends strategic foresight with empathy, creating pathways for businesses to grow, for lenders to say yes, and for trade to become inclusive and resilient—anchored in trust, transparency, and measurable impact.

Achievements
  • Built a SaaS used by 10,000+ businesses globally.
  • Scaled to $4.5M ARR without external funding.
  • Exited first startup via acquisition in 2020.
  • Led a remote team across 6+ countries.
  • Featured in TechCrunch, Product Hunt & Your Story.
  • Recognized as a Top 35 Under 35 founder.
"Credit access should be a bridge, not a barrier. My goal is to ensure that businesses in emerging markets are no longer held back by outdated systems, but empowered to grow with trust, transparency, and opportunity at every stage."
