Yasin Bostaıncı

Yasin Bostancı is a Turkish entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Monq, a London-based enterprise AI startup building a multi-agent negotiation platform for strategic procurement. His career has taken him from engineering roles at global technology companies to the senior leadership of one of the world's most ambitious fintechs, giving him an unusually direct view of the operational complexity that large organisations face when managing high-value supplier contracts.

Before co-founding Monq, Bostancı spent nearly five years at Revolut, where he served as an operating partner in the CEO's office. That role placed him at the heart of Revolut's operational build-out — navigating the complexity of scaling a global financial services company across dozens of markets simultaneously, managing supplier relationships, and building processes from scratch under intense competitive and regulatory pressure. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Amazon and Huawei, grounding him in how large technology organisations manage procurement and vendor relationships at scale.

His observation throughout these roles was consistent: strategic procurement — the negotiation of the highest-value supplier contracts that shape a company's cost structure and competitive position — remained almost entirely manual, reliant on intuition over data, and structurally resistant to the kind of automation that had transformed adjacent enterprise functions. That insight became the founding premise of Monq, which he launched in April 2025 alongside co-founder Duygu Gözeler Porchet.

In November 2025, Monq raised £2.3 million in a pre-seed round led by Outward VC, which was nearly twice oversubscribed. Early pilots with FTSE-listed manufacturers, global healthcare groups, and Singapore-based automotive tech company Ennovi showed cost reductions of up to 40% and deal cycle acceleration of up to five times. Bostancı's long-term thesis is that intelligent, human-in-the-loop procurement automation will become one of the most strategically significant capabilities in enterprise operations over the coming decade.
