Puren Ucar

Talent Advisor

Working together since 2018

I am passionate about venture because..

I get to meet with extraordinary talent and founders.

The types of founders who impress me most are..

the ones that are self-aware, can articulate their fears and triggers and can “execute” and “decide” despite those.   

If I wasn’t in venture, I’d be..

a full time professional horseback rider.

The best advice I ever received was..

to invest in the relationship you have with yourself. Once that you have the healthy connection with yourself, every other relationship will follow.

I’m most skeptical about..

hiring people from big corporates. I really don’t see that it works in startup/scaleup world.
