Signal, Access, and Execution. Three connected practices designed to make cross-border venture into Turkey work — for US investors, founders raising abroad, and corporates entering the market.
The Turkish tech ecosystem doesn't sit cleanly in CB Insights, PitchBook, or Crunchbase. Half the interesting signal lives in Turkish-language press, founder Slacks, and the back rooms of Istanbul — places databases don't reach.
A 12-20 page intelligence brief delivered every quarter. Sector dynamics, notable deals, regulatory shifts, founder migrations, and our take on what's coming next. Source-cited throughout, written for someone who already understands venture.
Custom 30-50 page reports on a specific sector — AI, fintech, gaming, defensetech, or anything else in TR tech. Talent landscape, key players, deal history, capital flows, exit comparables, and our view on where the asymmetry sits.
30-90 minute working sessions for investment teams. Bring your questions — current TR positioning, specific deals in your pipeline, sector framing for an LP meeting, or the macro overhang. We bring the data and the take.
The strongest Turkey-Nexus founders are two warm intros from a US VC, not on any platform. We've spent fifteen years building those intros. Now we curate them — and we only pass forward what we'd structure ourselves.
We see hundreds of decks a year. The ones we forward are the ones we'd invest in ourselves if we ran a fund. Each intro comes with our written memo — what we like, what we worry about, and why we think the fit is real for your portfolio.
Warm intros into rounds we know are forming. We don't lead deals, but we're often close to the founders and the local syndicates putting them together — and we can position you to be in the conversation before the round is widely known. The deals you'd struggle to access from New York or Menlo Park.
A private feed of TR companies we're tracking — pre-fundraise founders, stealth-mode companies, and rounds we expect to open in the next 6-12 months. Not deal flow, but pipeline. The kind of early signal that lets you plan rather than react.
A cross-border venture deal between Silicon Valley and Istanbul has three jurisdictions, two currencies, and roughly fifteen ways to get the structuring wrong. We've watched all of them happen. We work to make sure they don't happen to you.
Commercial, operational, and legal due diligence on TR-based investment targets. Founder background checks, customer reference calls in-language, IP and regulatory positioning, cap table cleanup, and the unwritten parts of TR corporate culture that diligence checklists miss.
Cross-border deal structuring with the exit in mind. Delaware / Cayman flip strategy, SPV setup, currency exposure modeling, regulatory navigation, and coordination with local counsel. We work the path forward so your money out is as clean as your money in.
For US corporates evaluating Turkey: market entry assessment, acquisition target identification and screening, partnership / JV scoping, and competitive intelligence. 6-12 week projects scoped to a clear question, with a named project lead and a written deliverable.
Three practices. Three engagement models. All scoped in writing before any work starts. Pricing happens after a short discovery call, because the right number depends on what you actually want.
Three doors. Same firm on the other side. Pick the one closest to what you're trying to figure out.
Quarterly intelligence, sector deep-dives, or a one-off briefing. Pick the cadence that matches your fund's review cycle.
