About Us

AI Startup Factory, believing in the transformative power of artificial intelligence, invests in AI startups founded by Turkish entrepreneurs that have gained momentum and carry high global growth potential. It aims to accelerate the development of the Turkish AI ecosystem, support startups on their scaling journeys, and connect them with the right stakeholders to drive global success.

 

AI Startup Factory positions itself not merely as an investment fund, but as a holistic ecosystem growth platform that brings together academia, the business world, entrepreneurs, the public sector, and investors. It facilitates startups' access to funding and accelerates their growth through more than 250 introductions, knowledge-sharing sessions, and collaborations. Through this inclusive approach, it values creating value not only for the startups it invests in, but for the ecosystem as a whole.

 

Having invested in pre-seed and seed-stage startups in its early days, AI Startup Factory today, in parallel with the ecosystem's development, backs companies that have established their business model, expanded into global markets, and reached the scaling stage. This entire transformation has taken place in just two and a half years.

 

Looking ahead, AI Startup Factory aims to accelerate its global expansion, strengthen international partnerships, and continue to be one of the pioneering organizations connecting Turkish AI startups with the world.
