    "Kümesteki Kartal Neden Uçamaz? Türk Girişimcilerin İnternet Serüveni" captures the essence of Turkish internet entrepreneurship through the stories of visionaries who defied norms to pursue their digital dreams. Highlighting the early days of the internet in Turkey, it tells the tale of Nevzat and Melih, who embarked on the risky venture that became yemeksepeti.com, and of Burak and Serkan, who left their architectural studies to create gittigidiyor.com. It also covers Halil, who believed so strongly in the potential of a digital brand that he invested in bebek.com, facing economic challenges and skepticism.

    These entrepreneurs shared a common passion and determination, navigating through skepticism and financial hardships to achieve their dreams. Their journeys, marked by resilience and innovation, reflect the broader story of Turkey's internet revolution and the challenges faced by pioneers in a burgeoning digital landscape.

    This book is not just about business ventures; it's a narrative on the power of belief and the enduring spirit of entrepreneurs who dream big. Through adversity and against the odds, they proved that with focus and persistence, even the most ambitious dreams could be realized. "Kümesteki Kartal Neden Uçamaz?" is a testament to the indomitable spirit of innovation, offering inspiration to all who seek to transform vision into reality.

    The Veezy Go project, developed by Vestelnet between 1998 and 2003, was an ambitious initiative aimed at revolutionizing the way customers accessed the internet. This project was distinct for its comprehensive approach, integrating internet service provision with the convenience of computer and credit card usage all in one seamless package. The goal was to simplify the process for consumers to connect to the internet, making it as straightforward as using a credit card.

    By bundling computer access with internet connectivity and enabling credit card payments for services, Vestelnet sought to lower the barriers to internet entry during a time when online access was becoming increasingly crucial for both personal and professional use. This innovative project underscored Vestelnet's commitment to leveraging technology to enhance customer experiences, ensuring that users could enjoy easy, reliable, and secure access to the digital world.

    Veezy Go was ahead of its time, anticipating the needs of a growing internet user base and setting a precedent for future projects that would seek to integrate technology solutions with consumer convenience. Through this project, Vestelnet demonstrated its foresight and innovative spirit in the rapidly evolving tech landscape of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
