Investment thesis
The firm positions itself as Turkey's first AI-focused investment fund, targeting bold AI entrepreneurs aiming for global scale. It concentrates on the Pre-Series A stage and goes beyond capital by accelerating startups through strategic resources, strong partnerships and hands-on execution. Leveraging synergy with Türkiye İş Bankası and its group companies, it creates PoC and corporate collaboration opportunities and connects startups with ecosystem institutions. A mentor network drawn from business, academia and the public sector supports local and global connections and business development. Post-investment, it applies a customized, founder-focused strategic support model, complemented by accelerator programs, ecosystem events, growth support and technology/software packages.
