What seems like a simple story has so many layers to digest. Read it, then read it again. First of all, thank you to Chris Tottman who did a fabulous job distilling the events into a powerful story arc! Second, just imagine that three day conversation. Really try to marinate in what they might have discussed and how they may have bonded. And finally, ponder the scope of mindfulness it would take to set aside egos, extract lessons from past mistakes and imagine the unbound universe of possibilities through strategic collaboration.

💥 Would you believe it's #Türkiye -- with a nearly 11x cash-on-cash return! Fasten your seat belt! More to come 🚀 Thanks, Allen Taylor for sharing this! "Can you guess the best performing market for Endeavor Catalyst in our 12-year history, where we have invested in over 30+ countries? 💥 Would you believe it's #Türkiye -- with a nearly 11x cash-on-cash return! "

In case you missed this fantastic anomaly, how cool is it that Nasdaq celebrated two Turkish female-led companies on their Times Square billboard in the same week this month? Hats off to Hande Cilingir and her fantastic Insider. team for achieving their $500M Series E funding round. And congratulations to Piraye Beim and her pioneering Celmatix team for achieving the Sprint for Women's Health Award. Absolutely brilliant... Now these companies are too mature for pre-seed / seed funds like Treeo VC, but we build our fund knowing that more of this spectacular talent exists and needs to be supported from seedling to sapling to maturity to reproduction by an ecosystem that is also growing in strength and capacity...

On August 30th, 2024, our General Partner, Didem Altop, had the honor of representing Treeo VC as the moderator of the opening panel at this year’s Young Owners Forum hosted by Fast Company Türkiye in Bodrum. The panel, titled “Global Founders,” brought together some of Turkey's most innovative minds to explore the transformative impacts of AI and the global competitiveness of Turkish tech startups. The discussions were nothing short of inspiring, with key insights into how Turkish founders can leverage their unique strengths to compete on the world stage. 💡 Key Takeaways: The accelerating impact of AI across all business sectors. The importance of building diverse ecosystems for personal and professional growth. The strategic advantages of using Turkey as a hub for talent and innovation. The value of corporate-startup alliances as a competitive edge. The necessity of developing a US market strategy for global success. We’re incredibly proud to support the growth of Turkish tech startups and foster connections between the Turkish-American and American tech ecosystems. We invite you to dive into Didem’s full reflections from the event and discover how Treeo VC is helping Turkish founders make a global impact. Together, we’re building the future of tech, one startup at a time. 🌟 Baris Ozaydinli | Eren Hukumdar | Sahin Boydas | Kaan Erün #TurkishTech #AI #GlobalFounders #Startups #Innovation #TreeoVC #Entrepreneurship #YoungOwnersForum #YoungOwnersForum2024
