Creating

AI, products and entrepreneurship.

On Instagram and YouTube I show how to build products with AI, find customers and grow a company, in Turkish. Most of the systems I share run in our own companies first. I partner with brands only when they fit that conversation.

GOAT builds your app, finds real customers, writes intro emails and produces your ads and content. You chat, it works. For irreversible steps like sending an email, it always waits for your approval.

In September 2026 we presented GOAT's pocket recorder in Amsterdam: clip it on before a meeting, and when the conversation ends a summary, a follow-up email and a contact record are waiting in your chat.

What members say

The most valuable part is that the information is accurate and my questions always get answered.

As someone non-technical, I learned a great deal from the daily live streams and the coffee-break sessions…

Built

ARspar

AI product visualisation · 2020-2024

I co-founded ARspar with Esad Kılıç. Our first product let shoppers see a product in their own room through augmented reality, without downloading an app. Over time ARspar became an AI platform that creates studio-quality product images in minutes.

Over three and a half years we worked with more than 70 enterprise brands. In May 2024 Rotterdam-based Floorplanner acquired ARspar.

Brands we worked with include

Lamborghini
Red Bull
Westwing

About

Burhan Kocabıyık at a podcast microphone

I was born in Turkey and moved to the Netherlands on my own at 16. I taught myself 3D visualisation on YouTube and started my first company in 2019. In 2022 MT/Sprout named me to its "25 onder de 25" list of promising young Dutch entrepreneurs.

Today my focus is helping founders without a software background build and sell products with AI. My content, GOAT and Goatstarter are all part of that.

I'm also a co-founder of the DOA community and of LeftFlow, which sets up AI infrastructure for companies and trains their teams.

Writing

Notes on entrepreneurship, sales and working with AI.

I turn what I teach in my videos and what we learn building our companies into written notes. The posts are in Turkish; starred ones are a good place to start.
