Co-founder & CEO @CivicSolar, Sparker @TurkishSpark, Former Founder & CEO @Yonja. Angel Investor. 2x successful bootstrapper.

I founded 2 companies. First one (Yonja) became profitable in year 1 and the largest Turkish website and social network in its 4th year, when we exited it. I ran and operated Yonja from San Francisco with frequent trips to Istanbul. My second company, San Francisco based CivicSolar, reached profitability in its 7th month, and is currently the leading online solar equipment distribution network.

I love to give back to entrepreneurs. I do that with Babur Ozden via @TurkishSpark. And am looking forward to doing it via Clarity.
