Elizabeth Horn Ozden: angels and amazons
Elizabeth Horn Ozden talks about technology trends and the Turkish retail market.
"I got the money to start my company from angels," says Elizabeth
Horn Ozden with an ethereal smile and, for an instant, I imagine
that I am about to be made privy to a miracle.
I imagine plump, bare-breasted venture-capitalist angels
delivering sacks of used dollar bills in the small hours to finance
TaluHorn Limited, of which my interlocutor is a shareholder and
director. A Turkish crescent hangs over the Bosphorus above the
silhouette of slim minarets. Wrong. In Turkey, as in the US, angels
are high-net-worth individuals willing to invest in internet
start-ups in the hope that they will be wildly successful.
