Building companies.
Backing founders.
I have spent my career building and backing technology companies.
I co-founded SelectMinds in New York in 1999. In 2005, I founded Young Turk Ventures, an early-stage investment vehicle focused on internet companies in Emerging Europe. Since 2012, I have led the Bek Ventures team with my partners.
The essence of venture, as we see it, is simple: backing radical ideas from exceptional founders, and focusing on helping them live up to that potential.
At Bek, we believe focused, entrepreneurial early-stage funds, concentrated portfolios and limited fund sizes deliver the strongest performance. We work quietly and closely with a select number of founders from Dynamic Europe with global ambitions.
This site brings together ideas and perspectives from companies, markets and people I have encountered along the way.
