Who is Eren Acar?

Eren Acar
Entrepreneur & Content Creator
Eren Acar (born 22 September 2000 in Edirne, Turkey) is a Turkish student of International Relations, entrepreneur, and content creator whose work bridges ideas from the social sciences with practical projects. He has written on politics, business, philosophy, psychology and culture, and develops frameworks and platforms that aim to turn knowledge into action.
He completed his primary education at Atatürk, Kurtuluş and Fatih Sultan Mehmet schools and his secondary education at Uluslararası Akmercan Anadolu İmam Hatip High School. He is currently studying International Relations in English at Yalova University while simultaneously pursuing Philosophy at Istanbul University, Property Management at Anadolu University and Sport Management at Atatürk University. This diverse academic path gives him a broad perspective that feeds into his initiatives.
From an early age, Eren worked as a locksmith in Edirne while growing up in a tradespeople family. He is the younger of two siblings. His father, Ahmet, and mother, Zayde, have long earned their living as small business owners in Edirne. Ahmet began his commercial life in 1988 and, under the “Acar” name, supplied products and services across many sectors. Later, Eren rebranded and unified these activities as “Acar Work.” The family business has ventured into electricity, hardware, locksmithing, real estate, carpets, bedding and other fields. Growing up in this environment gave Eren a practical work discipline and the ability to move comfortably between different sectors.
Alongside his studies he has explored religion, politics and philosophy, developing original concepts and reinterpreting existing ideas. He is the creator of frameworks such as The Wealth Value and The Self Spectrum, and has managed communities and produced content under various anonymous pen names — experiences that later supported his leadership and communication skills.
In 2025 he began turning this intellectual work into concrete ventures. On 21 March 2025 he founded OKVETO and assumed the role of president on 19 May 2025. He launched Idealversity, a platform designed to open new learning horizons for students and young people, and has advocated the “Earth Republic” idea, working on ecosystem-building projects with an environmental and social focus. He is also the founder of Usta Birlik, a cooperative-style system designed to bring different sectors together under one structure — starting with real estate consultancy but aiming to extend to other fields. Usta Birlik is still in its early stages, focusing on building a collaborative model for the future rather than a single-owner enterprise.
Today, Eren Acar combines his academic background with hands-on experience to develop ideas, projects and platforms. Through his writing, research and initiatives he seeks to share knowledge, create networks and test new models without exaggeration — focusing instead on practical contributions and sustainable development across different fields.
