Abdulsamet Alan is Co-Founder at Talp, an AI-powered synthetic persona platform that simulates real customer behavior across products, ads, and pricing before launch.

Alan studied at Bogazici University in Istanbul and co-founded Talp alongside Baran Atas, bringing technical and entrepreneurial expertise to the AI market research space.

Alan and his team identified the critical say-do gap in traditional market research, building a persona intelligence model that predicts actual customer behavior rather than stated intent.

Talp closed a pre-seed round at a $20 million valuation backed by Formus Capital, Sunshine Lake Ventures, Aito Capital, the a16z Scout Fund, and several angel investors.

Talp has tested over 3,455 flows, 563 products, and 429 creatives using 5,000+ distinct personas, enabling growth teams to launch data-free A/B tests and simulate market expansions in just two clicks.
