Hi, this is Levent. I graduated in 2010, and since then, I have been working in the digital space like online marketing, online sales, and business development of online companies. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and tried some projects before, but most of them failed. During the journey, I learned many things from my failures and didn’t close my doors to trying something new. Right now, I am running an NGO in Turkey - Sifirdan Globale - which aims to teach the importance of getting hands dirty while studying, especially to the youths. With the help of Sifirdan Globale, they improve their skills and feel more confident when they apply for internships and part-time/full-time positions. For instance, we teach them how to start their blog by using tools like WordPress, and this increases their self-confidence level. In addition, we have been building side projects related to SaaS and the jobs curation space. Some of the side-projects we launched: - SaaS Affiliate Programs: We collected more than 300 SaaS Affiliate Programs in one site, and 180 people subscribed to our email list. We micro-exited the project in 30 days. Here is the story of it. - Customer Success Jobs: We scraped more than ten websites and have been showing all job postings related to Customer Success on one site. We collected 100+ emails in 30 days. Here is the story of it. - SaaS Screenshots: An extensive saas screenshots database including 5.000+ screenshots from 1.000 companies.
