What is Sohrab Merat's title at Owl?
Owl's own about page, checked September 2026, lists him as CMO and calls him a co-founder. The title has moved: Daily Hive called him Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer on September 17, 2019, and an Insurance Knowledge Hub spotlight on November 14, 2024 called him Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer.
Did he co-found Owl?
Yes. Owl's about page, checked September 2026, labels him a co-founder. BetaKit's November 4, 2021 report on Owl's $30 million Series B says the company was founded by Sean Merat and Vahid Mirjalili along with Sean's brother Sohrab Merat.
Is he the same person as Sean Merat?
No. Sean Merat is his brother and Owl's CEO, according to Owl's about page checked September 2026. That page also lists a third Merat, Sam Merat, as CTO. Quotes and interviews given by Sean should not be attributed to Sohrab.
Where is Owl based?
Owl's about page, checked September 2026, says the team is distributed across Vancouver, New York and Toronto rather than naming a single headquarters. BetaKit described the company as Vancouver-based on November 4, 2021, and Daily Hive on September 17, 2019 said it was headquartered in Vancouver with offices in Toronto and New York.
