Validation and the startup ecosystem
A large part of Narsent happened outside the product itself. We spent time speaking with companies, testing use cases, understanding how finance and operations teams actually worked, and figuring out where the product could create enough value to justify adoption.
Customer discovery and process discussions included organizations such as İZSU, Enerjisa, TurkNet, Gdz Elektrik, Arz Portföy, and Eksim Ventures.
At the same time, Narsent entered several startup and accelerator programs. That brought the project into contact with mentors, founders, corporate stakeholders, ecosystem operators, and potential investors, and gave us a much more practical view of how an early-stage company develops beyond the product.
