Nothing makes a lecturer prouder than seeing students transform ideas into real-world solutions with confidence, strategy and vision. Watching this course evolve into a true startup simulation, complete with research, validation, pitching, and investor juries was an incredible experience for me as well. What impressed me most was not only the creativity of the projects, but the courage to defend ideas under pressure and think like real founders. And to our jury members: thank you for asking the tough questions. Great startups are not built through easy applause, but through challenging conversations, sharp feedback, and ambitious standards. 🚀 : Gülşen Ayçiçek, Gürkan Öztürk, Ilker Atalay, Latif ULU, Okan Tübek and Taner Güner Very proud of all teams and congratulations again to the Subtrack team for building a startup case from a powerful consumer insight and turning it into a compelling business vision. The future of entrepreneurship belongs to students who can combine research, creativity, data, and execution together — and this semester proved exactly that ❤️
