“A lot of people were not happy they were working on a
project in Iran,” he says. “They were worried about how the
product was going to be used.”
Gokaram says he worked only on commercial products and
didn’t share those concerns. He declined to discuss specifics
about any technology deployed in Iran.
Creativity Software, which is privately-held and partly
funded by London-based venture capital firm MMC Ventures,
announced last November that it had made four sales in six
months in the Middle East for law enforcement purposes without
identifying the mobile operator clients.
Saul Olivares, market development director at Creativity
Software, declined to discuss sales of law enforcement
technology, but in an e-mail he pointed to its practical
benefits, such as locating individuals during disasters, for
ambulance crews and in other emergencies.
