Inveo Ventures Invests in Startups.watch to Strengthen Turkey’s Startup Data Ecosystem

Inveo Ventures, the corporate VC arm of Inveo Yatırım Holding and Gedik Yatırım, has acquired a stake in Startups.watch, one of Turkey’s leading startup data platforms. The move aims to boost the visibility of entrepreneurial activity, support data-driven decision-making, and strengthen information flow across the ecosystem.

Founded in 2014, Inveo expanded into venture investing with the launch of Inveo Ventures in 2022, becoming one of Turkey’s most active CVC investors in 2023–2024. Startups.watch, founded by Serkan Ünsal, has been tracking and analyzing startup investments in Turkey for a decade, serving as a reference point for the ecosystem.

Inveo Ventures GM Haluk Nişli called the deal a long-term investment in the ecosystem’s infrastructure, while Ünsal highlighted the strategic value of having one of Turkey’s most established companies join in their mission to grow the startup scene.
