Investment thesis
Yildiz Ventures operates as the venture unit of Yildiz Holding, focusing primarily on corporate venture capital that adds value to the group's core food and retail operations. It pursues three activity areas: incubation, where it acts as a venture builder growing business concepts operationally and strategically without a fixed budget; financial VC investments in global early-stage startups made directly or through other VC funds across foodtech, agritech, deeptech, SaaS, e-commerce, mobility, logistics, fintech, gaming and HRtech; and acceleration programs run jointly with Northstar, Yildiz Holding's innovation arm, providing pre-seed support to early-stage food-focused startups.
