# Baris Karadogan

> Baris Karadogan is the co-founder and CEO of Jingle, a Menlo Park startup that turns local stores and services into roving mobile vendors that drive through neighborhoods and ping nearby shoppers through an app. An Istanbul-raised, Stanford-trained engineer who spent a decade as a venture capitalist at firms including ComVentures, Fuse Capital and U.S. Venture Partners, he traded the investor's chair for the founder's seat to attack the high fees and long waits of conventional delivery.
