About the program
Where entrepreneurs tell their own stories
Startup Dünyası is a radio program where entrepreneurs share their business models, products, successes, challenges and future goals with listeners. In each episode we talk about a startup’s founding story, the problem it solves, its route to market and its growth plans.
The program isn’t only about startups. Investors, academics, mentors, corporate representatives and other ecosystem stakeholders also step up to the microphone. That way, listeners see entrepreneurship not through a single window but across the whole ecosystem.
Four in five of our guests founded their own company. Here, experience tested in the field is what gets discussed.
