Hi, I’m Burak — building Pronize AI to transform global manufacturing collaboration

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Burak Kandemir, Co-Founder & CEO of Pronize AI — a B2B SaaS platform that helps brands and manufacturers collaborate smarter with AI-powered workflows.

My background is a bit unusual: I’m a law graduate specialized in international trade law, but I’ve also spent 15+ years in the textile & apparel industry leading global sourcing, production, and vendor management for Dutch and international brands. Along the way, I built deep expertise in EU trade compliance, cross-border negotiations, and supply chain operations.

What makes it fun (and sometimes chaotic) is that I also have a technical side: I trained in software & database engineering, so I actively contribute to our product development. That’s why Pronize bridges business needs with tech — especially in AI-driven trade documentation, Digital Product Passport compliance, and supplier collaboration tools.

I’m here because I believe global trade workflows need a radical upgrade. Too many SMEs are still stuck in emails, Excel files, and WhatsApp threads. Pronize is our attempt to fix that.

👉 Curious to know: What’s the biggest frustration you’ve had when collaborating with suppliers or managing production workflows?

Excited to connect and learn from this community 🚀

Thanks

Burak Kandemir
