Digital Bosphorus – the Turkish Innovation Ecosystem
summary
Turkey now has six unicorns in three years and a tight loop from exits to new startups: a former exit yields talent, dozens of gaming teams spin out and one company raises a $55 million seed pre-product. An AI app automates Turkish coffee cup readings and reaches one million daily users. A challenger bank built in Turkey reports 13 million users, 30 million accounts and ~1 million daily active users and is planning European expansion. Investors stress team, unit economics and global customers over country risk.
