Hootan Troy Farahmand and Alexso, Inc. Set New Standards for Purpose-Driven Corporate Philanthropy
Los Angeles, California, 2nd January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, At a time when public trust in corporations is increasingly tied to social responsibility, Hootan Troy Farahmand is redefining what meaningful corporate philanthropy looks like in modern healthcare. As Chief Executive Officer of Alexso, Inc., a nationwide pharmaceutical distributor, Farahmand has positioned the company as more than a supplier of medical products. Under his leadership, Alexso has become a platform for service, access, and long-term community impact.
Rather than treating philanthropy as a side initiative, Farahmand integrates giving into the company’s operational and cultural framework. His approach reflects a belief that healthcare businesses have a responsibility to actively support the communities they serve. Through targeted donations, strategic partnerships, and employee engagement, Alexso continues to raise expectations for how corporations can contribute to public well-being.
A Mission That Extends Beyond Distribution
Alexso, Inc. operates across all 50 states, supplying pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and nutraceuticals to hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and physician practices nationwide. While the company’s operational growth has been substantial, Farahmand ensures that its mission remains focused on improving patient outcomes.
He views access to healthcare resources as a shared responsibility. Every expansion into a new market represents an opportunity to reach underserved providers and patients. This philosophy guides Alexso’s distribution strategy and informs its philanthropic decisions. The company prioritizes partnerships that directly benefit patient care, especially in communities where access to quality healthcare remains limited.
By aligning business growth with social impact, Farahmand has established a model in which corporate success supports broader public good.
Strategic Giving With Measurable Impact
Farahmand believes that effective philanthropy must be intentional and results driven. Under his direction, Alexso has supported children’s hospitals, nonprofit clinics, rehabilitation centers, and mental health organizations through donations of medical products and essential supplies. These contributions focus on meeting real clinical needs rather than symbolic gestures.
Working closely with healthcare professionals, including Dr. Farbod Melamed, Pharm.D., Alexso identifies organizations that lack resources but deliver critical services. Together, they help ensure that donated products reach facilities where they can make an immediate difference in patient care.
This collaborative approach allows Alexso to align donations with medical priorities while maintaining compliance and safety standards. As a result, the company’s philanthropic efforts support both patient outcomes and operational accountability.
Advancing Safer Healthcare Solutions
A key focus of Alexso’s philanthropic mission involves expanding access to safer treatment options. Farahmand has been a strong advocate for non-opioid pain management solutions and advanced nutraceuticals. He recognizes the role distributors play in shaping prescribing practices by ensuring that clinicians have reliable alternatives to opioid-based medications.
Through donations and expanded product offerings, Alexso supports healthcare providers seeking to reduce dependency risks while maintaining effective pain management. Farahmand’s leadership in this area reflects a broader commitment to public health and patient safety.
By prioritizing responsible distribution, Alexso reinforces its role as a partner in addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing the healthcare system today.
Leadership Informed by Legal and Business Expertise
Farahmand’s ability to lead purpose-driven philanthropy is rooted in his diverse professional background. As a licensed attorney with experience in intellectual property and corporate law, he understands the regulatory and ethical considerations that govern pharmaceutical distribution. This knowledge ensures that Alexso’s charitable initiatives comply with all legal requirements while maintaining transparency.
In addition to his legal career, Farahmand has managed real estate investments and operated retail businesses. These experiences sharpened his skills in strategic planning, operational efficiency, and customer-focused design. He brings this same discipline to Alexso’s philanthropic programs, ensuring they remain sustainable and scalable.
His leadership demonstrates that strong governance and compassion can coexist, strengthening both business performance and community trust.
Cultivating a Culture of Responsibility
Philanthropy at Alexso is not limited to executive decision making. Farahmand encourages employees at all levels to participate in community initiatives and charitable efforts. The company organizes donation drives, volunteer opportunities, and outreach programs that allow team members to contribute directly to causes aligned with Alexso’s mission.
This inclusive approach fosters a sense of shared purpose across the organization. Employees understand that their work supports both healthcare providers and the communities those providers serve. Farahmand believes that when people feel connected to a larger mission, they bring greater care and accountability to their roles.
By embedding philanthropy into workplace culture, Alexso reinforces its commitment to ethical leadership and long-term impact.
Supporting the Next Generation
Beyond immediate healthcare needs, Farahmand is committed to investing in the future. Alexso supports educational initiatives that introduce students to careers in science, technology, pharmacy, and entrepreneurship. These programs aim to inspire young people while addressing workforce shortages in healthcare and related fields.
Farahmand views education as a powerful form of philanthropy. By supporting mentorship and learning opportunities, Alexso helps cultivate future professionals who value service and responsibility. This forward-looking approach ensures that the company’s impact extends well beyond current operations.
Setting a Higher Standard for Corporate Citizenship
As conversations around corporate responsibility continue to evolve, Farahmand’s leadership offers a clear example of what purpose-driven philanthropy can achieve. He demonstrates that healthcare companies can grow while remaining deeply connected to the needs of patients and communities.
Alexso’s philanthropic initiatives are not isolated acts of charity. They reflect a long-term strategy grounded in access, safety, and collaboration. By aligning corporate resources with social priorities, Farahmand sets a higher standard for corporate citizenship within the healthcare sector.
Looking Forward With Purpose
Farahmand continues to guide Alexso with a focus on expanding access, improving efficiency, and strengthening community partnerships. Future initiatives include deeper support for mental health services, expanded donations to pediatric care programs, and continued investment in non-opioid treatment solutions.
Through steady leadership and a clear commitment to service, Hootan Troy Farahmand proves that philanthropy is most powerful when it is purposeful, consistent, and integrated into every aspect of business. His work with Alexso stands as a model for how healthcare companies can lead with integrity while making a lasting difference.

AI Meets Arabic Literature: Qirtas App Unveils Scalable Publishing Infrastructure at Web Summit Qatar 2026
Doha, Qatar, 19th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Qirtas App, a dual-interface digital platform headquartered in Istanbul and Malmo, announced its mission to bridge the global gap in Arabic literature accessibility following its successful showcase in the Alpha Startup category at Web Summit Qatar. By integrating cutting-edge AI production tools with a seamless streaming interface, Qirtas is providing the technical infrastructure needed to digitize the fragmented $4 billion Arab publishing market.

Despite a global population of 430 million Arabic speakers, the publishing industry has long been hampered by prohibitive shipping costs, high piracy rates, and a lack of digital infrastructure. Qirtas App addresses these systemic barriers through a twofold solution: a freemium streaming platform for readers and a sophisticated digital management backend for publishers.
Empowering Publishers through the “AI Production Suite”
Qirtas is not merely a distributor; it is a catalyst for digital transformation. For traditional publishers, the platform offers a dedicated portal to convert physical catalogs into secure, monetizable digital assets.
AI-Automated Production: The platform utilizes proprietary AI to automatically generate high-quality audiobooks and smart summaries, drastically reducing the time and cost barriers that previously prevented publishers from entering the digital space.
Institutional Security: With advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) and real-time reader analytics, publishers maintain full control over their intellectual property while gaining unprecedented insights into global consumption patterns.
The Future of the Arab Reading Experience
For the global Arab diaspora, Qirtas offers a comprehensive streaming library featuring Qirtas AI, an interactive reading assistant that provides instant translation, text-to-speech narration, and social integration.
“The Arab publishing world is rich in content but starved of modern distribution,” said Tamer Odeh, CEO of Qirtas App. “With Qirtas, we are removing the friction. We aren’t just giving readers an app; we are giving publishers the tools to survive and thrive in a digital-first economy.”
Alaa Barghouth, COO of Qirtas App, added: “Our participation in Web Summit Qatar has confirmed the massive appetite for this technology. We have already secured commitments from major publishing houses ready to onboard their catalogs. We are now focused on scaling our infrastructure to meet this demand.”
Market Opportunity & Investment
The digital publishing segment in the MENA region is currently valued at $400 million and is experiencing rapid year-over-year growth. Having validated its model with early industry commitments, Qirtas App is currently open for pre-seed investment to accelerate its market launch and expand its AI-driven production capabilities.

Press Release
BTCD Foundation Launches Layer 1 Blockchain Infrastructure and Opens Public Testnet

The BTCD Foundation has announced the upcoming deployment of its proprietary Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. This development marks the introduction of a new technical framework designed to support decentralized applications and secure digital transactions. The Foundation has confirmed that the Public Testnet is scheduled to open for user participation on February 15, 2026.
Technical Architecture and Infrastructure
The BTCD platform is engineered as an independent Layer 1 blockchain, distinct from token-based projects that rely on existing third-party networks. The core infrastructure utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof of Stake (PoS) protocols.
This architectural design is intended to address common scalability challenges in blockchain technology. The technical specifications indicate a capacity for high-volume throughput, with initial testing targeting transaction speeds of over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining sub-second finality. The system is built to operate autonomously, providing a decentralized foundation for developers and users.

Testnet Deployment and Minting Mechanism
Beginning February 15, 2026, the BTCD Foundation will initiate the Public Testnet phase. This phase allows users to interact with the network’s minting protocol to test system stability and performance.
The minting process follows a programmed algorithmic schedule designed to test the network’s long-term sustainability over a projected 25-year timeline. The protocol includes technical halving events scheduled every 2.5 years to regulate the issuance rate of digital assets on the network.
Transition to Mainnet
The Testnet phase is a precursor to the official Mainnet launch, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2026. The Foundation has outlined a technical migration plan wherein digital assets minted during the Testnet phase will be recognized on the Mainnet system upon its activation.
Ecosystem Development Roadmap
Following the Mainnet launch, the BTCD Foundation plans to deploy a suite of decentralized applications (dApps) integrated directly into the Layer 1 core. The technical roadmap outlines the phased release of nine specific utilities, including:
- Nexora: A decentralized communication protocol.
- Guardian DEX: A decentralized exchange interface.
-
WealthBook: A social networking platform integrated with blockchain identity verification.
Future updates scheduled for later in 2026 involve the integration of automated trading algorithms and asset management utilities.
About BTCD Foundation
The BTCD Foundation is a technology organization focused on the development of Layer 1 blockchain solutions. It aims to build a scalable, secure, and decentralized infrastructure to support the next generation of digital applications.
