3- The Failed Startup I Felt Sorry The Most: General Magic
Ideas/Startups I Worked On
In 2016, when blockchain was hot, I tried to build a platform on which you could exchange a property as easy as a stock. All parties involved in transaction would live on this blockchain based record keeping infrastructure.
When I realize, blockchain idea was too soon and nobody needed it, I pivoted to a subscription based e-commerce startup which won a sponsored Silicon Valley Tour on a pitching event and I visited the Bay Area in 2017 thanks to this startup.
A unified in-store micro loan application and distribution platform for banks and large ticket retailers such as furniture stores, private schools etc. I could not convince a bank to be the loan provider on my platform
A building inspection and large site management software using drones. Image processing and AI would help to detect cracks and drones would save time for project managers and engineers to run a site more efficiently. I quit my job to focus on this project but our government grant did not accepted.
Started a direct-to-consumer furniture manufacturing and distribution business. Scaled it very fast but could not survive the Pandemic.
Tried to launch an Istanbul-based AI powered SaaS product for ready-mix companies in the US. Team did not continue.
An early-stage startup focused on elderly companion robots and virtual assistants. Led market research and competitive analysis, and advised on go-to-market and fundraising strategies.
A project management tool for architects.
An AI assistant launchpad for soloproneurs.
