Alan Mels

Founder & builder.

Building software for how people host, work, and live.

Path

Alan studied tourism at Marmara University in Istanbul, spending his summers guiding visitors along the coast of Antalya — an early education in hospitality and in reading what people actually need.

He went on to a master's in international law and economics — the MILE program at the World Trade Institute, University of Bern — before turning to building the systems he wished had existed.
