Gorkem in the house this Wednesday with AI app studio founders and top talent. We used to celebrate birthdays together. Been years… but we’re doing it again this week (& celebrating @FAL 🦄). For @gorkemyurt's birthday, we’re making the event bigger. Come join us!

After gaming, Türkiye’s consumer AI app scene took off. Dozens of studios now generate 8-9 figure revenues globally. Many are powered by @FAL. To celebrate Fal’s unicorn milestone, we’re co-hosting an event in Istanbul for the consumer mobile app community 🦄 @e2mindset. Selin’s

Last post on fal, I promise… until the decacorn announcement 😱. I had promised to leak our childhood photos with @gorkemyurt when Fal became a unicorn, what I didn’t realize was that it would happen within a year 😅. So excited for what’s ahead for the company and proud to have.

Gorkem used to tell me that you only understand what fast means when you experience it. Same with pmf. You don’t really get it until you live through it. He reminded me of that while @FAL scaled from 0 to $50M+ ARR in months and without a single salesperson. As impressive as that

If mobile gaming were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital. We’ve had Partner meetings with new 24 Turkish mobile gaming studios so far this year. I’m confident every one of them will successfully raise (or have done already). What does that mean for Turkish gaming? Ask

Not many people know this, but @erenbali originally started @udemy (then called KnowBand) in Turkey as an educational live-streaming platform 🇹🇷. It was the wrong time, wrong product, and wrong market. He couldn’t raise funding or attract customers. But the team was strong, and

Alper lays out Agave Games’s vision perfectly here at @e2mindset Summit. They take proven mechanics, identify their core limitations and turn these pain points into an opportunity. Reinventing an entire genre 🐈. Find The Cat 🐱 is a perfect example. Traditional hidden object

Gorkem has been championing SF since forever. He was convinced me to spend significant time there a decade ago. I was basically living on his couch. Best investment ever 😅. 👇Here during @e2mindset Summit, he reflects on the opportunities that only happen in SF; whether it’s

fal was the first player to position itself as a generative media platform. A bold move and a counter positioning. While most competitors were focused on text models (adoption was strongest), @Fal doubled down on images, video, and audio. That bet paid off. As the generative

Fal operates in a highly competitive space but carved out a unique niche by focusing on generative media. Effectively creating a category of its own. From model creators to inference providers, cloud platforms to packaged solutions, many players in the space are both competitors

Thanks to @the_euvc and @Andreas for a great episode with @akinbabayigit (and myself). I bug Akin a couple times a year to do content. Each time, I learn so much and it influences me for months afterward. This will definitely keep happening. Aking got me my first internship at

FERASET raised $4.5m by us and @PlayVentures. We’ve doubled down on mobile gaming and enterprise AI for years. Investing at their crossroads was the natural next step. Feraset brings value closer to the end consumer, and closer to explosive growth. All signs point to $100M+

we’re not selling.
