His journey began early, earning his engineering degree from Chico State University at just 17 years old. Immediately recruited to Silicon Valley, he dove into the tech world, working with several high-profile companies. By 21, Hamid had completed his MBA in business marketing, further fueling his career in technology and business management.
In his early career, Hamid played a significant role in pioneering technology.

Following this success, he held senior roles at Hitachi Computers and Tandem Computer (now HP Computers), where he directed business and technology development.
In 1999, Hamid shifted his focus to Los Angeles, taking the helm as Division President of Emblazed Technology (Webradio), a publicly traded company. Under his leadership, the company saw a 300% growth in just 12 months and reached a valuation of $1 billion. His ability to drive growth and expand businesses led him to co-found CAPLUCK Inc. in 2004, where he launched Cap60, now a leading data management system provider serving clients across 40 states and recognized as the largest provider of services to nonprofit organizations in the U.S.
In 2016, Hamid Kohan leveraged his extensive experience in business and technology to enter the legal industry, founding Legal Soft Inc. The company specializes in providing practice management solutions tailored to the unique needs of law firms.
