Ownership and funding
Who owns IQGov and who pays for it.
1. Owner
IQGov is owned by Dr Sajjad Babamaleki, who founded it.
2. Funding
IQGov has no advertising, no sponsors and no funding from any government or company. Its costs are paid personally by its owner.
3. The owner's other interests
Dr Babamaleki is also the founder of GOVOG, a company that works with governments, and the author of a book on government reform. Any IQGov piece that mentions GOVOG or his own work says so in a disclosure line, as our standards require.
4. If this changes
If IQGov takes advertising, sponsorship or any other funding, this page will say so, and sponsored content will always be labelled as such.
