The people · 2026

Small teams beat big teams. The right four people can outpace forty.

We are a small team. That is a choice, not a constraint. Names and faces forthcoming — the roles, and the bench behind them, are real.

The four operators

Four roles. One team. No org chart.

Names and faces forthcoming. The roles are real — the four chairs we sit in every week, on every company.

  • Operator · role

    The builder.

    To be introduced.

    Ships the product. Writes the code. Sits closest to the engineering decisions that compound for years.

    Profile · forthcoming

  • Operator · role

    The deal lead.

    To be introduced.

    Sits in diligence. Reads the term sheet line by line. Knows what each round actually closes against, not what the press release says.

    Profile · forthcoming

  • Operator · role

    GTM in the seat.

    To be introduced.

    Writes the pricing. Closes the first ten customers. Knows which churn is fixable and which is a category problem.

    Profile · forthcoming

  • Operator · role

    Capital & ops.

    To be introduced.

    Runs the model. Owns the data room. Translates the company into something a credible investor can underwrite in an afternoon.

How we work together

Small team, by choice.

We are a small team. That is a choice, not a constraint.

  • Cadence

    We respond fast. We don't over-meet. We over-deliver in writing.

  • Stack

    We use modern tools heavily — AI included — so a team of four can do the work of a team of twelve. We don't talk about it as a feature; it's how the work gets done now.

  • Selection

    We invest in founders we'd want to work for. We take projects where the people are as interesting as the problem.

  • Filter

    We don't work with founders who treat their team poorly, or with investors who treat founders poorly. Twice in a row and we walk.

People we work with

The bench behind the four of us.

A small studio doesn't mean a small team. These are the people we ship with — by category, named on request.

  1. 01

    Design

    A two-person studio in Levent we ship with on every product surface. The brand work on this site is theirs.

  2. 02

    Engineering specialists

    Senior engineers on retainer for the categories we can't be senior in: ML infra, payments, security.

  3. 03

    Legal

    A boutique Istanbul firm that runs founder-side. They draft, we read every line.

  4. 04

    Accounting & tax

    A small Istanbul firm that closes our books and our founders' books on the same calendar.

  5. 05

    Capital partners

    A handful of funds we co-invest alongside on the rounds we lead. Named on request.

  6. 06

    Operators on call

    Former founders and senior operators who take warm intros for the companies we back.

From the manifesto

We invest in founders we'd want to work for.

The same line is on a wall in the studio. We test every new engagement against it, in writing, before anyone signs anything.
