The story of innovation in hospitality tech is written by people who truly understand the industry.
At FineDine, we’re proud to collaborate with one of those names: Ali Servet Eyüboğlu, founder of Global Scale Ventures and an experienced entrepreneur behind two successful exits.
His strategic insight and background in scaling technology-driven businesses will play a key role in shaping FineDine’s next phase of growth.
Startups to Global Scale: Ali Servet Eyüboğlu
Ali Servet Eyüboğlu’s entrepreneurial journey began in Türkiye, where he co-founded Mekanist, later acquired by Zomato, and English Ninjas, acquired by Open English.
Having led international operations across 12 countries and mentored numerous startups, Eyüboğlu’s expertise spans global expansion, investment strategy, and scaling AI-driven ventures.
As the founder of Global Scale Ventures (GSV), he now supports mission-driven founders in AI, biotechnology, and climate technology, empowering early-stage startups to grow with capital, strategic guidance, and a global network.
Through GSV’s AI Tech Builders program, Eyüboğlu helps technical founders build AI startups from scratch, drawing on over a decade of experience scaling technology ventures across 12 countries. He guides founders on AI product-market fit, operationalizing AI solutions, and connecting with global investors.
Shared Vision for Smarter Hospitality
FineDine’s collaboration with Ali Servet Eyüboğlu stems from a shared conviction: data-driven intelligence is becoming the new language of hospitality.
As an advisor, Eyüboğlu will guide FineDine’s strategic expansion, helping the company strengthen its presence in Türkiye and Europe, and extend its reach across the Middle East and beyond.
“Building a company is never just about technology.
It’s mainly about networking and surrounding yourself with people who see potential where others see limits.
Ali’s experience and perspective bring new energy to how we think about growth and global expansion.”
Duygu Kutluoğlu, CEO of FineDine
His experience in scaling technology ventures and mentoring founders will support FineDine’s next phase of growth, as the company continues to develop AI-powered solutions that help restaurants and hotels make faster, smarter, and more profitable decisions.
With new technologies and investments on the horizon, FineDine is poised to solidify its position as a global force in smart hospitality, empowering businesses to turn data into delightful, personalised guest experiences.
Beyond Strategy: The Future of Smart Hospitality
FineDine’s vision is to create a hospitality ecosystem where data and decision-making move in harmony, a place where every restaurant and hotel can turn insights into memorable guest experiences.
By embedding AI-driven intelligence into every touchpoint, FineDine is transforming how restaurants operate, helping them anticipate guest needs, personalize experiences and make smarter, faster business decisions.
“We’ve always believed that technology should serve people, not complicate their work. With Ali on board, we’re accelerating that mission through AI, building smarter systems that help restaurants and hotels work more efficiently and create experiences their guests will remember.
His deep expertise in artificial intelligence will strengthen FineDine’s journey toward becoming a growth platform for restaurants and hotels.”
Adil Burak Kılıç, CTO of FineDine
Beyond his advisory role, Eyüboğlu also invested in FineDine through Global Scale Ventures, marking the beginning of a long-term collaboration focused on advancing AI-driven hospitality technologies.
The investment brings together FineDine’s product vision with GSV’s global experience in scaling technology ventures.
“Years ago, when I built Mekanist, I saw firsthand how technology could completely transform hospitality. Data and AI are now rewriting that story, and FineDine is at the center of it.
I’m proud to support Duygu, Burak, and the FineDine team as they scale globally, empowering restaurants and hotels to make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.”
