A First for TRVC: Our Debut Turkish Episode

TRVC #13 with Şahin Boydaş, Turkish-American serial entrepreneur and angel investor

Friends,

I’m excited to share the first-ever Turkish-language episode of the TRVC podcast — a conversation with Şahin Boydaş, a Turkish-American serial entrepreneur and angel investor based in Silicon Valley and Austin, TX.

From time to time, I’ll be recording episodes in Turkish that feature Turks working in venture capital and startups abroad. These conversations aim to share the insights they've gained from global ecosystems — for a Turkish-speaking audience.

In this episode, Şahin talks candidly about his journey from founding startups to becoming an active angel investor, his perspective on backing early-stage teams, and what makes the Turkish ecosystem both challenging and full of potential.

If you speak Turkish — or are curious to listen in — I’d love for you to check it out.

I hope I’m doing something useful, but if I’ve made a mistake somewhere please let me know. I’ll always do my best to improve.

Thanks as always for tuning in,
Yunus Çelebiler
