Barkin Doganay

Background

After years building in the sales tax automation space, Barkin recognized a broader challenge facing startups: as companies grow, managing accounting, tax compliance, and financial operations often requires multiple software platforms and service providers. This fragmented approach can create unnecessary complexity for founders and finance teams who would rather focus on building and scaling their businesses.

He founded Reven with a simple vision: to make financial operations easier for startups through one AI-native, full-service platform that brings bookkeeping, accounting, tax compliance, and financial workflows together. His goal is to give operators and finance teams greater visibility, simplicity, and confidence as they scale.

Barkin holds an MBA from MIT Sloan, and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science with a double major in Economics from Yale. He is also a former Turkish national swimming champion, national team member and competed on Yale’s varsity swimming team.
