We are fascinated by the connected economy.

Young Turk Ventures is the personal investment vehicle of Cem Sertoglu, a Partner at Earlybird Venture Capital, a leading VC firm focused on investments in Turkey and CEE .  

We believe in Turkey and CEE will be going through a period of rapid commercialization of the connected economy. With a strong installed base of enthusiastic and engaged users of both the internet and mobile technologies, the region has lagged in the transition of economic activity online.  Our investments focus on this opportunity.

We are stage agnostic in our investments as we believe there is value to be created at every phase of a company's evolution.  If we feel there is a way we can play a role in this value creation, whether it's through capital leverage, strategic input or executional support, we will look for a way to collaborate with a business.
