Oltac Unsal
Oltac Unsal is a Turkish technology investor and economic development executive who is notable for creating the fastest political crowdfunding campaign in history for Turkish Gezi Protests. Unsal created a crowdsourced and crowdfunded advertisement in the New York Times with Murat Aktihanoglu and Duygu Atacan. It was the fastest political crowdfunding campaign in history. The ad featured demands for "an end to police brutality"; "a free and unbiased media"; and "an open dialogue, not the dictate of an autocrat." The editing of the final advertisement involved thousands of people, and the ad was published on 7 June 2013 . Despite its financing by 2,654 online funders, Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan and his administration blamed a domestic and foreign "interest rate lobby" and "The New York Times" for the ad. Unsal also co-founded the Good Party (İyi Parti) in Turkey on October 25, 2017 which went on to win 10% of national vote 8 months later.
