Before moving into venture capital, Yiğit Arslan spent years as a global markets fund manager and part-time investment banker, managing between $20 million and $900 million at firms like İş Investment, Rhea, Azimut, and Actus, and he also gained early exposure to U.S. tech venture work through Brook Ventures while studying abroad. He backs this up with a finance-heavy education—Industrial Engineering at Sabancı and an MBA in Finance and Entrepreneurship at Bentley, along with advanced derivatives licenses from Turkey's Capital Markets Board—and has been recognized as one of the Top 100 thought leaders in the Data Driven VC Landscape 2026 for his work on a hybrid, data-informed approach to venture investing.
