Founder story
Why BSTVRSN exists
Hi, I’m Firat.
I’ve been a tech entrepreneur for over a decade, with a deep focus on personal development and transformation.
Entrepreneurship, spiritual practices, and experiences across different cultures have all served the same purpose for me: becoming my best version.
Along the way, I discovered combat sports.
Of everything I’ve explored, combat sports became one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for personal transformation.
I started with Muay Thai, then went deeper into different disciplines, gyms, training styles and environments to understand what I want to focus on.
After almost three years of trial and error, I decided to train in Thailand at one of the best MMA facilities in the world.
That’s where I shifted my focus toward MMA with the goal of becoming a full-stack fighter — combining strong striking with enough grappling to stay confident wherever the fight goes.
With BSTVRSN, I want to make that journey easier for other tech founders — so we can train, evolve and keep building.
