Founder & President (2020–Present)

Onur Evgin

Onur H. Evgin is the founder and current president of Eolisa Space, an independent space company focused on science, education, and innovation. His journey into the field began not as a professional pursuit but as a deeply personal passion, sparked in early childhood by a fascination with astronomy and the unknown depths of the universe.

In 2020, he took the first formal step toward realizing his long-standing dream by establishing a small export business, aimed at financing future scientific ventures. With no institutional backing and limited resources, he took full responsibility for the creation of Eolisa Space—drafting its structure, formulating its four main project frameworks, building its website, designing internal units such as Sentinel Alpha, and coordinating nearly every administrative and technical task involved in founding the company.

The early years required constant learning and improvisation. From developing feasibility reports to configuring internal servers, from preparing public campaigns to legal registrations, Evgin filled in the gaps wherever others withdrew or tasks were left unfinished. His role was not rooted in hierarchy, but in necessity.

In 2022, under his direction, Eolisa Space was formally established in Türkiye. However, due to regulatory constraints and lack of access to international platforms like Kickstarter, he led the company’s relocation to the United States. Evgin personally handled the bureaucratic and legal transition—including the company’s incorporation, tax registration, and compliance processes—laying the groundwork for global fundraising and investor relations.

Today, Eolisa Space holds six key projects:

• Four long-term flagship initiatives: the Research Center, EOLS Hub, Observatory, and EOLS Academy.

• Two short-term, rapid-action projects: the Telescope Workshop and the Hangar.

Among these, three projects are currently in a demonstrable state—equipped with prototypes, documentation, and research results that can be presented directly to investors and institutions:

• The Telescope Workshop is supported by completed designs and hardware blueprints, including intelligent telescope systems designed to integrate with artificial intelligence.

• The Black Hole Research Program, initiated under Evgin’s leadership, was made possible through the formation of a dedicated science team. While Evgin established the project’s framework and built the team itself, the scientific work—mathematical modeling, theoretical exploration, and research outputs—has been carried out by the team’s researchers.

• The EOLS Academy has a fully developed academic curriculum, designed to serve high school, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels through a modern, global educational model.

Evgin continues to lead Eolisa Space through its funding phases and strategic partnerships. His approach remains consistent: filling in where needed, organizing where others hesitate, and prioritizing progress over recognition. His leadership is shaped not by showmanship, but by responsibility—a trait that has kept the company active and intact through each challenge.
