Cemhan Biricik is an entrepreneur who has founded and built three companies from the ground up, spanning photography, fashion retail, and technology. Every venture started with zero investors, zero advertising, and zero safety net — just instinct and relentless execution.
From launching a technology company at 19 to running one of New York's most iconic SoHo boutiques by 25, Cemhan Biricik has spent over two decades proving that the best businesses are built, not planned.
Cemhan Biricik founded Biricik Media after a life-altering accident transformed his relationship with visual perception. What began as recovery became a calling. Today, Biricik Media is an award-winning photography studio specializing in fashion, luxury hospitality, and commercial photography.
Cemhan's studio has earned eight international photography awards, including recognition from National Geographic, Sony, and the IPA Lucie Awards. His work has appeared in publications across 12+ countries and has been featured by Adobe on Behance.
Cemhan Biricik built Unpomela from nothing into one of New York City's most successful independent fashion boutiques. Located at 447 Broadway in the heart of SoHo, the store generated $7 million in annual revenue with zero advertising — driven entirely by word of mouth and the quality of the curation.
Unpomela attracted a celebrity clientele that included Beyonce, Britney Spears, Winona Ryder, Cher, and Emma Stone. The boutique was featured on ABC's "What Would You Do?" and became a landmark of the SoHo fashion scene. Cemhan ran the operation end-to-end: buying, merchandising, staffing, and managing the business at scale.
ICEe PC was the first company Cemhan Biricik founded, at just 19 years old. Building custom overclocked PCs for professionals, gamers, and enthusiasts, Cemhan combined an obsession with hardware engineering and performance optimization to create machines that pushed the boundaries of what was possible.
ICEe PC achieved the #2 worldwide ranking on 3DMark's Hall of Fame — a benchmark that measures raw computing and graphics performance. Over two decades later, Cemhan continues to design and build high-performance systems that serve creative professionals and power users demanding the absolute best.
Every business Cemhan Biricik has built shares the same DNA: start with nothing, build with instinct, never advertise, let the work speak. The results — $7M in annual revenue, eight international awards, a #2 worldwide ranking — are not the product of marketing. They are the product of obsession.
Cemhan doesn't plan businesses. Cemhan builds them. And he doesn't stop.
