Summary
Melih Onvural is a product leader and former engineer with 14 years of experience building operator-first platforms and consumer products that scale—from early prototypes to multi-million dollar revenue streams. He’s led cross-functional teams at Stripe, Owner.com, and startups, driving product strategy, execution cadence, and measurable growth such as 30x Customer Portal revenue and doubled ARR through experiment-led improvements. As a founder of an AI-first consumer app, he shipped end-to-end (Rails + iOS + OpenAI) and achieved >90% monthly retention among paid users, showing a rare blend of hands-on engineering and GTM rigor. He’s repeatedly navigated companies through product-market fit, fundraising, and org scaling, and has a strong track record modernizing legacy systems into reliable, release-at-scale platforms. Based in New York, he combines technical depth (MCS/BS in Computer Science) with operator instincts for high-retention, unit-economics-positive products.
