Date: 21/10/2012

At Webrazzi, a major Turkish conference focuses on web and entrepreneurship, we chatted with Aydin Senkut, who previously worked at Google and has funded entertainment company Rovio, which built Angry Birds, as well as Yamli, the transliteration and smart search technology platform built by Wamda's CEO, Habib Haddad, both through his Silicon-Valley-based angel investment fund, Felicis Ventures.

Here Senkut chats about the opportunities he sees in the Middle East and North African markets, what it takes for a startup to be successful, and what angle startups should take when it comes to building on other platforms.

Apologies for the lighting; we caught him on the fly!
