Our Name
We took our name, “Intelligent,” from the book Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. Just like their description of an investor carefully researching claims of different prospective companies to invest in, we strive to be careful in our work and the projects we choose to work on.

Adrian Zahid – Director & Co-Founder
Adrian is a survivor of advanced-stage cancer. When he is not crunching numbers at work, he spends his free time reading books and dissertations, taking classes in theology, working on his writing projects, posting his modest chess wins on Instagram, and learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mountain biking, playing racquetball, and traveling. He wants to see the Seventh-day Adventist church succeed in fulfilling the Great Commission.
