HOW DOES D4 WORK?
UNDERSTANDING IS KEY
D4 builds on a deep understanding of e-commerce and its expanding periphery. This understanding naturally flows from the long experience of its founder who built the Nasdaq listed ecommerce platform Hepsiburada from ground up.Fully cognizant of the short half-life of ideas in our age, D4 has mechanisms in place to continuously expand and extend its understanding of the digitalization of ecommerce and its interlocking domains from finance to social media. It engages experts and practitioners beyond its core team to deepen its expertise. It situates portfolio companies as part of an expanding collective brain-trust fueling the forward-looking command of the D4 community.
SYSTEMS THINKING
D4 leverages systems thinking to sculpt its vision of commerce for the coming decades. Commerce will evolve in tandem with other core domains that are integrally related to it, from finance to social media, from advertising to delivery.It is through a dynamic conception of this complex system that D4 identifies nascent gaps and foresees new opportunities at an early stage.
COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE
D4 finds and joins forces with piercing minds who have the requisite intellect, drive, temparament and social conscience to push the frontier of digitalization in commerce and the dynamic system that surrounds it.The collective intelligence of the D4 community builds on the restless vision, relentless rigour and the intellectual irereverence of such piercing minds.
