Bio

I have been working with startups since my Stanford days since late 90s. I have had the chance to do business in more than 15 countries in Americas, Europe, MENA and South East Asia. I love startups, I love international. I have invested in ~100 start-ups from North America and Europe since 2017 with 40%+ IRR, mostly via syndicates. I am an investor at Stanford Angels UK and used to be part of Emerge Angel network. I have been part of founding teams of 9 organisations (Endeavor Turkey, Endogen, Galata Business Angels, WeDecide, Founder Institute Istanbul, Sabanci University SUCool Preseed Accelerator, Montessori Coop, UKBasecamp, Creative Destruction Lab Oxford). At Creative Destruction Lab Oxford, I run our startup scouting, selection and venture management of startups across our four verticals of artificial intelligence, health, climate and fintech.
