Also when I have some money in the plot with the advice of friends and business people from abroad, foreign investments have started. More later in the basement at first, and continued its investments in Istanbul. At that time, of course, much more can be received plots of huge quantities of more at affordable prices. While in the 80s of the land revenue by placing against the floor began to transform.

In 2019, renewable energy into the electricity business by entering unlicensed GES by 2020 ready we started buying plants. Renewable energy is an important area of investment for us. We want to grow some more in the field of solar and wind energy. We were dealing with venture capital in the direction of the father, 2021 and 2022 in Gulman Ventures Inc.’s we have established. Since venture capital is risky and a wide area, instead of directly investing in companies that we trust, we believe in the vision, through funds
we prefer to invest. Currently, our revenue model works for the times we do business, we are using the energy of the proceeds from the real estate to magnify. We're dangling from income energy venture capital investing. This way we have identified our investment strategy, we strive to remain in the sector and much more.

ALCHEMY FUND

From Turkey, Revo Capital, 212, 500 emerging Europe and the foundation of entrepreneurship the New founder I met one named because of the early-stage Impact Fund. 212 3rd of the fund established in Turkey, in parallel with in seed and pre-seed stage fund investing in projects that are more ideas, so we created an alchemy. Others in Europe and America funds. Both are primarily Turkish entrepreneurs prefer, and also able to visit more often, by virtue of being able to speak face-to-face in Turkey, we had more interest in the funds. Unfortunately, our country is a very educated all over the world there is a brain drain.

Gulman Kemal memoir “STORIES from work” share their experience and advice.
Founded by the Turks, there are initiatives directed. However, Turkey has proven itself as there are brands like Seagull and opened to the world. Catch this opportunity to invest in these companies through funds.
What's it been last year the return of funds?
Last year, 97 percent had remaining 10 percent was providing a return. But our starting point, according to 40 percent above the average we can say that.
DON'T FUND A
What is your advice to those who wish to invest in venture capital?
I suggest you always choose their investment funds to entrepreneurs. The fund's investment gives it a culture around your waist. Comes in a quarterly report. This report in which the company has made what, what, how much money he invested in the company, which has been assessed but undecided so, basically, you are learning what is happening in the market. My advice is if you have 100 pounds even two or three fund publication. Don't just be plugged into a fund. In this way, you can see that what is the activity in each fund. It also gives you a serious variety on the market, you get to meet different players.
Thanks to the funds we also have a lot we're learning. The number of companies that the investment we make today finds 245 percent. However, this number was 197 3 months ago. Within three months, not 48, 15 companies wouldn't be able to decide even if I meet.
In agriculture, what are you doing?
Agricultural investments into a large square about 5 years ago, sunflower, wheat, konolo, corn farming by producing products such as classic, we are doing. Now we are preparing to raise blueberry Spanish with our partners in Romania. In real estate, What are you doing?
Priority areas of focus in the logistics warehouse real estate investments. In Istanbul, from one of the largest logistics companies in our land they're renting the appropriate zoning status generates according to the model, and then we want to keep them in the portfolio of renting it out. At this moment our focus is on logistics warehouse. Currently we have two warehouses in operation. 5 more new warehouse we are planning to do in the next 7 years.
LOGISTICS OPPORTUNITIES
Land your investments and in which areas?
Currently, Kocaeli, Istanbul, Izmir and is located in Bodrum. We don't make the investment in the basement for a long time a new plot. There we took the existing residence on the land, villas were made and sold. Still, we have the land, but we will consider investment opportunities in the new land. Logistics in the field of storage
AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STANDS OUT
What was the impact of the earthquake of real estate?
The owners of housing on sites that we have done, call us and they want to produce in landscape architecture in Istanbul and the surrounding two-storey houses. Even 40-50 people come together and say, ‘we want to buy a project you do’ there are those who. Therefore, real estate choices
we can say that it is one of Landscape Architecture. However, the high standards necessary ground for architecture and engineering solutions with the 90-storey building is very secure and may be preferred. However, the demands of consumers in the face of the old buildings qualified faster
along with the transformation, in the real estate industry I am of the opinion that it would be a very big move.
The interest of foreigners, or housing prices will fall?
The purchasing power of foreign funds in proportion to I think they're regarded as an attractive investment opportunity. However, the fall in prices rather than prospective I think that most of the price increases might be delayed. Both because the costs are too high, and the lack of supply in real estate with earthquake occurred. Because our citizens are directly affected by the earthquake 13.5 million and 3.5 million victims, we also began to move to other cities.
Do you see an opportunity? The figures Logistics has grown incredibly in the last 10 years in Turkey, but it is true that the storage space is insufficient current qualified. Even old buildings, factories, translated from reused it comes to the storage system. However, if the tenant doesn't want to do this. Tenants; with large quantities, the ventilation works well, with good lighting, doorways, elevator capacities enough, that can hold the weight of the concrete in the floor, the entrance from the main road and can work in both blue collar and white collar staff, and even in the pursuit of the warehouse that are qualified in areas where guests can relax. When designing we also Warehouse; ‘let's add on to the building regulations and British turkey and the U.S., it would be appropriate to every customer. Thus qualified international stores, both national and International, both very different jobs they do, it is becoming relevant to clients from all sectors. Thus, even if a fund in Washington, Turkey's can invest in independent together with the tenant of the ground beneath. Therefore, an investment tool that is becoming to you and you can sell it. We, we are setting up solar power on top of the roofs of the warehouses, we collect rain water and use in the garden. If the company and the stock exchange that uses the repository is open to international investors, customers or international credit if you have a loan from an institution, wants to be tenants in buildings with less harm to the environment. This reports to customers or to the centre of Europe, take carbon certificates. We thus protecting the environment, we are both rental and marketing the advantage of higher we shall return.
