Amir "Mondoir" Soleymani is the founder of Directory.art,[5] a platform designed to facilitate connections within the art industry. Launched by Mondoir, the platform reached over 1,000 users within its first week.[6] Directory.art has announced an exhibition at the Mondoir Gallery in downtown Dubai, featuring works from artists on the platform.

Legal disputes
In 2021, Amir Soleymani became involved in a legal dispute with Nifty Gateway, a prominent NFT trading platform, over an auction for a Beeple artwork titled "Abundance." Soleymani had bid on the artwork but was ultimately outbid. The auction was a ranked auction, a format Soleymani claims he had not encountered before. He was expected to pay $650,000 for a lower-valued edition of the work, which led to a series of legal disputes. Soleymani filed a suit in the U.K. High Court, questioning the fairness and enforceability of Nifty Gateway's terms. The case has also seen a countersuit filed in New York, adding an international layer to the dispute.[10][11][12][13]
Books
In 2023, Amir published his book The Art of Connectivity, which is a guide about digital art and its artists.[2]
