From TEDx Talks · Featured on Startup Istanbul

Steli Efti is a serial entrepreneur who dropped out of high school to start 3 profitable companies in Europe until he sold everything he had and bought a one way ticket to San Francisco 5 years ago. He founded Supercool School, a startup that empowered thousands of schools in over 50 countries to use a free online education platform to spread learning online.

Last year he co-founded SwipeGood, a social good startup that offered people a simple way to round up all their purchases and give small change to their favorite charities.

He's currently working on a new stealth startup that has been funded by the very same investors as Twitter, Facebook & Google.

Steli's pursuit of happiness has been guided by a simple principle: Do what seems most challenging next. Move outside your comfort zone. Grow!

About TEDx: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
