Osman Koc — CEO

I’m Osman Koc, Co-founder and CEO of UserGuiding, a SaaS platform that helps companies improve product adoption through interactive, no-code onboarding experiences. Before starting UserGuiding, I worked as a venture analyst at Bogazisi University’s angel investment network, reviewing thousands of business plans and interviewing hundreds of founders. Later, I co-founded YNOT Partners, a startup studio that helped entrepreneurs turn early ideas into real products and teams. Beyond building software, I’m driven by curiosity, consistency, and long-term growth, both personal and professional. Here’s what that looks like: · Since 2025, I’ve been a Forbes Technology Council contributor. · I mentor at least two early-stage startups every week. · I write regularly on osmankoc.substack.com and at userguiding.com/blog/author/osman-koc · I co-founded the Turkish Founders Club, connecting Turkish entrepreneurs worldwide 🇹🇷 · I host podcasts in https://turkgibisaas.substack.com/ and https://xyzpodcast.substack.com/ · I’ve run 3,000 + km over the past 18 months - including two full marathons and 50 + halves. · I aim to read 52 books a year (still chasing 40, getting closer). · Some Sundays, I share reflections on what I’m reading here on LinkedIn. · I’m building Quarters Club, a non-profit habit-building initiative that turns focused time into clean-water donations. · I relocated to London in 2023. LinkedIn is my only active social platform. I post here about entrepreneurship, SaaS, first-generation founder life, UX, product, and growth.
