My favourite places: EZEL KOKCU

-

Ezel Kokcu is a 25-year-old tech entreprene­ur who has three start-ups under her belt: STQRY, a consumer-facing discover app that helps visitors find and navigate content in museums and cultural institutio­ns that matches their interest and has since gone on to sell to more than 500 organisati­ons in four countries under the rebranded name, Area360, Non-Stop Tix, and her current business, Passphere, an event and ticketing analytics platform that has recently merged with iTicket. Kokcu splits her time between the capital, Wellington, and the big smoke, Auckland, and shares some of her favourite places. Auckland is one of my favourite locations in the world and seeing it grow into a multicultu­ral cosmopolit­an city is so exciting.

Let me paint you a picture: my week usually starts with Mondays and Tuesdays in Wellington where I technicall­y live. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, I start my commute boarding a flying uber (an Air New Zealand plane) to Auckland where I live until Sunday night.

This has been a constant for me for the last six months and now more than ever as we’ve just merged with iTICKET and have an office in Ponsonby. This is perfect as it’s right on the door step of my first favourite place, Ponsonby.
