Headline: Elizabeth Horn Ozden: angels and amazons Source: Euromoney Date: February 2001 Author: Metin Munir “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. “They believe in you when no-one should,” explains Ozden. “They believe in your dream. They give you money.” The first money thus given is seed capital of which Ozden and her Turkish partners received $1.2 million from American, European and Turkish angels. Ozden, who belongs to an old Texas family, came to Turkey in 1992 after she married a Turk. |
