Atatürk’s Inspiring Words
With his words, “My spiritual legacy is science and reason,” Atatürk reminded us once again of his unwavering belief in science and vision. His courage, leadership, commitment to knowledge and education, and determination to achieve great goals continue to guide us at Boğaziçi Ventures. These values serve as our compass in overcoming challenges in the business world.
“You, the young children of the new Turkey! Even if you get tired, you will continue to follow me… Those who decide to walk without resting will never, ever grow tired. Turkish youth will pursue our high ideal tirelessly and without rest.”
These words emphasize the importance of carrying the responsibility of Atatürk’s great legacy. With the value we place on Turkey’s entrepreneurship ecosystem and potential, we are committed to keeping his legacy alive and to inspiring new projects as we celebrate the Republic’s 100th year.
Entrepreneurship and Determination
Atatürk’s saying, “Success is born from the perseverance and determination required to overcome difficulties,” is a principle we deeply embrace at Boğaziçi Ventures. Inspired by these words, we strive to support entrepreneurs with the perseverance and determination they need to succeed. We use our knowledge and experience to guide new ventures and help them write their own success stories. Every venture begins with a spark, and seeing, believing in, and supporting that spark is of great importance to us. These efforts reflect our commitment to strengthening Turkey’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Guidance of Science and Innovation
“In life, the truest guide is science.” This famous statement by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is our roadmap. As an investment management company that goes beyond traditional approaches, we seek and support innovations that will transform global lifestyles and the business world. Guided by the principle of “disruptive innovation,” we focus on supporting technologies and ideas that will reshape the future. For us, combining education, innovation, and technology under the light of science is one of our most valuable inheritances.
Social Responsibility and Sustainability
“A society consists of two genders, women and men. Is it possible for a society to advance if one part is neglected while the other progresses? Can a body rise to the skies if one half is chained to the ground?”
Atatürk’s words emphasize the importance of human rights and gender equality. At Boğaziçi Ventures, we base our investment management approach on principles of social responsibility and sustainability. By supporting technology and digitalization, we aim to play a crucial role in shaping business processes. Alongside economic success, we also strive to create value by considering social and environmental impacts.
