Media Presence & Speaking Topics
Sahin Boydas is a frequent guest on leading technology and business podcasts, where he shares insights from building four startups, executing two successful exits, and making 234 angel investments. His interviews cover a wide range of topics — from the mechanics of angel investing and startup valuations to the future of AI and the philosophy of high performance.
On angel investing, Sahin discusses his approach to evaluating startups at the earliest stages, the patterns he has observed across his 234 investments, and the specific qualities he looks for in founding teams. His perspective is unique because he has been on both sides of the table — as a founder raising capital and as an investor deploying it.
His startup stories are particularly compelling. Sahin often recounts how RemoteTeam went from incorporation to acquisition by Gusto in just 580 days, and how Leo AR became Apple's App of the Day before being acquired. These narratives provide practical lessons in product development, market timing, and exit strategy.
Sahin also speaks about the intersection of technology and personal development. His book "Becoming Top 1%" and his interest in spirituality and mindfulness inform a holistic view of entrepreneurship that resonates with founders who are looking for more than just financial success.
