About Us

We are The Foundry, a next-generation venture capital platform from Turkey.

In 2022, we launched our inaugural fund with $20.5M in committed capital. Building on our early success, we are now raising our second fund, backed by leading global and regional investors.

We back visionary founders at Series A and B, helping them scale from Turkey into Europe and MENA.

Our strategy is sector-agnostic, with a focus on technology-driven, high-growth businesses that can expand internationally.

To date, we have invested in 18 companies across fintech, AI, mobility, sustainability, and digital platforms; partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs who are redefining their industries.

We go beyond capital.
Strategic guidance. Global connections. Hands-on support.
Everything founders need to grow, scale, and cross borders.

Our belief is simple:
World-class companies did, and will continue to, rise from this ecosystem,
and we’re here to help them thrive.
