Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYigit Guler is a seasoned technology founder and engineering leader with 12 years of experience building product-driven teams and scalable mobile platforms from Istanbul. As co-founder and CEO of Brik and former CTO and board member at Pera Wallet, he led the transformation of an Algorand preview app into the ecosystem’s dominant wallet, scaling engineering from 4 to 30+ and achieving ~82% market share. He co-founded Hipo, growing it into a 60+ person studio that shipped award-winning and high‑scale mobile products (including apps that reached millions of users) and routinely combined hands-on development with strategic product leadership. Yigit has a track record of turning early-stage ideas into fundable products—helping secure a $3.6M seed round—and of integrating real‑world features like on‑chain debit cards and fiat on‑ramps. He hires and mentors talent systematically (many hires began as interns) and favors lean engineering practices and open-source, open-license codebases. Based in Istanbul with a background in industrial engineering, he blends operational rigor with startup agility and a pragmatic focus on user-facing blockchain experiences.
