What I do
In hindsight, I can clearly say that what I basically do very well in companies are these:

  • Take an idea
  • Think of a solution
  • Plan what I need for it
  • Take the first steps and clear out the woods
  • Create the first prototype
  • In the meantime find the first customers (way before it is finished)
  • Build a team
  • Empower and enrich the team
  • Get output
  • Start selling it

Entrepreneurship

  • I founded my first company (Kasırga) in 2008 at our university when I was still a student. At Kasırga Bilisim LLC we worked on various R&D projects. After my graduation, I wanted to do something else, providing R&D services to companies was not enough – I wanted to develop products.
  • In 2010, with the help of a special government grant, I founded Robutel. Although I started the company to “develop products”, we were not able to immediately start developping products. The main reason was that the financial ecosystem in Turkey was too conservative and no-one financed innovative ideas (even getting loans from a bank was not possible). Thus for some time, we had to provide R&D services to gather the financial resources required for team building, product development and marketing. In 2012, we finally started working on our product full time, which was a robotic forklift to be used in factories for automatic load delivery. The costs were too high, we required more prototypes than we orginally planned, etc.. – so we ran out of money. Thus we sold the company in 2013, with all the IP, to a major industrial holding in Turkey. We re-structured the company and founded Robutel Corp. in 2013. I resigned from the post of CEO and left my company to pursue different projects in 2015. Robutel Corp. is doing business in the intra-logistics sector as a major mobile robot manufacturer since.
  • Between August 2015 and June 2016 I worked as a consultant on 3D scanning, 3D modelling, IoT, satcom, secure storage and robotics projects and worked on the feasibility of different product ideas.
  • Since June 2016, I am working as the CTO of Rovenma Corp. We are developping robotic storage solutions, high speed data processing and secure communication systems at Rovenma.
