Buğra Gündüz

Buğra Gündüz is the co-founder and CEO of Bourne and co-founder of HockeyStack, where he built an eight-figure AI business. At Bourne, he works with entrepreneurs and established companies to create AI products and put agents to work inside their businesses.

He started learning to code as a child and sold digital products while in high school in Turkey. After moving to the United States for college, he left during his first quarter to build HockeyStack. He and his co-founders later joined Y Combinator’s Summer 2023 batch.

At HockeyStack, he helped companies understand their customer relationships across marketing, sales and the products they use. That experience informs his approach at Bourne: look at the whole customer relationship, including the information people need and the work they pass between departments.

He is building Bourne around the belief that more people should have a hand in creating the future and share in its prosperity. His goal is to help people build businesses with AI, whether they start a company or lead change within one. Through Bourne, he gives builders the tools to create AI products and helps companies adopt them.
