I am Ekrem Bayraktar. After a long professional career in the capital markets and finance sector, I have been managing my own ventures and investments for the last 10 years. In the last two years, I have moved a large part of the business to the US and I have acted differently in this process, which is a big problem for families, entrepreneurs and companies planning to invest in the US from Türkiye, without solid guidance.

From the first day of my journey to America, I could not find a true mentor, a reliable advisor, or a good guide. I tried to find the right path by doing my own research and trial and error.

After experiencing this process firsthand, I wanted to accompany people like me who have plans and dreams on their difficult journeys with my knowledge and experience. I founded Gladius to help you make all your critical financial decisions in the most accurate way, from state selection to the right business model, from capital planning to cash management, from creating a business plan to minimizing risks.
