Deniz Erkan

Father, Builder, and Investor in New York City, NY

Father, builder, and angel investor, I've been building consumer businesses for the last 15 years.

Co-founded Who-AI Phone with long term business partner and ex-MSFT colleague Raed Malhas.

In our previous business Jawabkom, we reached $40M+ annual subscription revenue with 35% operating margin. Paid back investors with multiples of their investments.

Raed and I were both fresh out of college when we met at MSFT as developers in 1999.

When I left MSFT, I was the senior PM at SQL Server Enterprise, in charge SSIS.

I live in NYC with my 2 boys (5 yo and 3.5 yo), and my piano teacher wife, Michelle.
