I’m excited to share the latest episode of the Turkish VC Podcast, featuring someone who’s been building bridges across Turkey’s startup world for over a decade: Mine Dedekoca.
Mine is a Venture Partner at Treeo VC and an unstoppable force in the ecosystem — from organizing the Global Startup Awards in Istanbul to pioneering events back when coworking spaces barely existed here.
In this episode, we talk about:
🟡 Treeo VC and their mission to back Turkish and immigrant founders in the U.S.
🟡 What makes Turkey’s startup talent special — and what still holds it back
🟡 Why many founders stumble when going global
🟡 How Turkey is positioning itself as a digital nomad hub
🟡 Mine’s lessons from her own failed startup — and why she’s grateful for it
🟡 What it takes to grow larger VC funds in Turkey
It’s a conversation full of insights, energy, and thoughts on what’s next.
