500 Emerging Europe thesis
500 Emerging Europe was extremely helpful in recruiting our country head in Istanbul and enabling us to make our first key hires. Whenever we had trouble with our hardware manufacturing and needed to change suppliers and facilities, one of the introductions we received from Enis led to a direct conversion in us switching our entire hardware manufacturing and assembly process. 500 was very helpful with potential client introductions to us such as Turkish Airlines, Peak Games and Carbon Health. They’ve helped us establish both a backend development and also a client-facing sales team in Turkey.
