Four Turkish rounds, two give an amount
Four Turkish rounds.
Two give an amount.
Four rounds by companies with a base in Istanbul, reported between 12 October and 3 November 2026 by the Turkish outlets Webrazzi and TechInside. Two state an amount. Amounts are as reported.
- Craftgate: an undisclosed amount, with Turkven joining its investors, reported by Webrazzi on 12 October. No other investor is named, and the co-founders keep majority stakes. Craftgate lets online businesses manage several payment providers and payment methods through one integration. The article gives no use of funds, only goals: reaching more businesses in Turkey, global growth and AI for payment management. Craftgate lists an Istanbul address on its own site.
- Loops AI (a16z SR006): a $3.5M seed round, reported by Webrazzi on 16 October, from speedrun, NTT DOCOMO, Connecticut Innovations, Monday Capital and Alumni Ventures, with angel investors from Netflix and Google. No lead is named. Loops AI (a16z SR006) builds AI search and shopping tools for e-commerce sites, so shoppers can describe what they need in everyday language. Its own site says it works from Istanbul and the US. The money goes into the team, more customers and expansion, with Japan first.
- Leasingim, Istanbul: an undisclosed amount from Insha GSYF, reported by Webrazzi on 20 October. Leasingim is a digital leasing advisory platform for the machinery sector: SMEs, equipment suppliers and leasing companies meet on one platform, and a business submits one application and compares several offers. The money goes into technology and team, integrations with financial institutions and AI-supported matching of financing.
- For Physician: a $267,200 convertible note at a $4M valuation, reported by TechInside on 3 November, from Tura ÜNLÜ & Co, Dr. Orhan Mutlu Topal and academic physicians; individual amounts are not disclosed. For Physician runs a platform open only to identity-verified physicians, with AI tools including a clinical assistant, image review and a prescription assistant. The round is described as ongoing and is meant for association partnerships, regional expansion and marketing. Its own site lists an Istanbul address.
The two rounds with an amount name several investors; the two without name one each, Turkven and Insha GSYF. Loops AI (a16z SR006)'s $3.5M is about 13 times For Physician's $267,200 (our arithmetic).
