Hi, I'm Ahmet Açar. I help mid-career professionals achieve more with less.

[ My story ]
Over 2 decades, I helped companies like Amazon, Google, McKinsey, SAP, and General Electric turn ideas into new ventures, bringing in over $90M in revenue and $10M in funding.Then, in 2022, I struggled with depression, diabetes, and burn out.So, I quit everything and followed my wife from Europe to Nairobi. Now, I am reinventing my life and starting a new chapter in my career. I am building a series of one-person businesses to scratch my own inch and help others along the way.When I'm not working on my ideas, I take care of my kids, mentor climate tech startups, and design roleplaying games with my friends.
