The Startup Investor's Handbook

There are dozens of books, thousands of websites, blogs and articles for startup founders and entrepreneurs in Turkish.

​

However, until today, there has not been a Turkish book for investors of startups that explains the nature, logic, law, financial aspects, analysis methods, in other words, the entire investment process from A to Z in all aspects.

 

We set out to fill this gap with a comprehensive "bedside book" and this book you are holding in your hands has emerged.

 

If we can light a "spark" in your mind about startup investing, we can move you towards becoming a part of this world,

 

our book has served its purpose.
