Ertan Can on Early-Stage VC, Fund of Funds, and Investing across Europe

TRVC #15, second episode in Turkish

Hi there,

We’re back with a new episode of the TRVC Podcast — and this one’s in Turkish 🇹🇷! (From time to time, I record episodes in Turkish with people working in the VC and startup ecosystem outside of Turkey, to help bridge experience, knowledge and insights from those ecosystems.)

In our second Turkish-language episode, we sit down with Ertan Can, founder and managing partner of Multiple Capital, one of Europe’s leading fund of funds investors.

Ertan shares:

• His personal journey from asset management to VC

• Why investing in early-stage startups is hard — and why fund of funds are more appropriate for most investors

• The evolution of the European venture capital landscape — some pitfalls of well meaning public incentives

• The realities of fund-of-funds investing, and how Turkey fits into the global puzzle

Whether you're an LP, a fund manager, or just curious about the big picture of the European and Turkish VC ecosystems, don’t miss this episode.
