About Startupfon
Who Are We?
Startupfon began its journey in 2019 by becoming a company with the aim of facilitating investors' lack of portfolio and time management through the funds and online investment platform it would establish. By founding the first venture capital fund focused on early-stage startups based in the Netherlands in March 2021, it has invested in many successful ventures in Turkey and around the world up to now and continues to invest. In September 2023, it opened its joint investment platform to access by obtaining a platform license from the Capital Markets Board (SPK). By the end of 2023, it continues to invest in startups at different stages with its established Startupfon Seed VC and Startupfon Opportunity VC funds.
Investment Philosophy
Startupfon is centred around the philosophy of co-investment that supports the growth of the Turkish entrepreneurship ecosystem and enables an increase in the capital provided to entrepreneurs. Startupfon creates value throughout the life cycles of its portfolio companies, provides mentorship, and supports their growth with a wide network. The team of investment professionals at Startupfon acts with great selectivity, reviewing thousands of companies each year, interviewing the selected management teams, and sharing their findings with Startupfon members after an in-depth due diligence process. While minimising risk through co-investing with ecosystem stakeholders, investors who join their funds, and platform investors, Startupfon aims to increase its investment volume.
