İbrahim Akman, The Founder of Webtekno and Masomo

İbrahim Akman was born in Izmir in 1985. He received his undergraduate education in Economics/Finance. He started his career by working in the municipality. But he resigned from his job there in a short time. In the past, he focused on internet projects that he did as a hobby, and that made him happy.

He thought that he needed to improve himself in the software and graphic design fields. First, he enrolled in software courses, but he left these courses unfinished, thinking that he was too late to learn this job. Then he started a design course. As a result of his experiences here, he came to the conclusion that he could not even draw a stickman.

In the end, he realized that he needed help from other people who knew the business to create the entrepreneurship of his dreams. The experiences he gained cost him some money and time.

İbrahim Akman Founded İzmo Tech in 2010

At that time, flash game sites were very popular on the internet. As a matter of fact, Akman and his team were thrown into this world of entrepreneurship with flash game sites. They made their site one of the most known flash game sites in Turkey.

Akman's first regular monthly income was not much. He raised enough capital to pay three months' rent and buy a table and chair for three. With the success they achieved with flash game sites, the number of their crew members reached 5-6 people.

But they were aware that their entrepreneurship would not last long because they had thought that the sector would lose its influence over time. Thus, they began to pursue new and longer-term ideas. For this purpose, they had a desire to do something related to the field of tech itself.

The world of technology, which Akman and his team followed closely, was a great attraction. Steps were taken to create a website where people could learn all the technology-oriented news in the world from a single place. This is how Webtekno emerged in 2013. At the same time, people were using their mobile phones more often to play games. This gave İbrahim Akman the idea of ​​the "Kafa Topu" - Head Ball game.

Webtekno's Path

Unlike other internet news sites, at WebTekno technology news were written in a sincere and natural language which managed to attract those who were interested in this field in a very short time. As a matter of fact, İbrahim Akman was of the opinion that an internet news site should be different from other news sources. He argued that it is necessary to move away from the official language, especially considering that the people who use the internet the most today are the youth.

Masomo's Success

Claiming to be “one of the best offices in Turkey” with the office he opened in 2019, İbrahim Akman announced the partnership of Masomo and Miniclip. Having achieved success in the mobile game industry in Turkey with "Kafa Topu" - Head Ball, Akman stated that this success now exceeds the borders of Turkey. As a matter of fact, the agreement they made with the world-famous game company Miniclip clearly shows this. Their offices cost over $1 million.

After his success in this game, Masomo also presented the basketball version of the same game, the Basketball Arena, to the taste of the gamers.

İbrahim Akman Believes in Self-Management

İbrahim Akman's advice is to young entrepreneurs and the new generation is that they should manage themselves like a company. He believes that people should foresee the risks they can take by making long and short-term plans for themselves. In this way, it is always easier to take action by determining the age at which they can take risks. Also, the fact the risk factor to realize one's own goals makes a great contribution to correct goal setting. As time passes, the person who has more accurate goals can easily discover his weaknesses and strengths and take steps accordingly.

At this point, Akman, in an interview, emphasizes that the person who is preparing to embark on a new path should not be influenced by the people who bring them down.

To sum up, İbrahim Akman is the founder of Webtekno, one of the most visited technology-oriented websites today.

Nothing has been as easy as described. As a matter of fact, he also stated that establishing a company immediately after resigning was a mistake. However, in this story, an entrepreneur who followed his dreams and achieved success with his competent teammates emerged. His successes both in the internet world and in the gaming world have been inspiring for many.
