Investment thesis

Under its umbrella sit several funds (such as Fintech, Start-up, Bilişim Vadisi, OSTİM, T3, Next-Gen Technology, İvedik and THY funds), each with its own strategy targeting different sectors and stages. The firm aims to back visionary founders and support startups at every stage of their growth journey with tailored capital, a selective investment approach, an active working culture and a founder-friendly mindset. It also lets R&D and technology development zone companies meet their 3% investment obligation by directing it into these funds.
