We are keen to partner up with outstanding entrepreneurs and innovative technology companies

Mission

iLab is committed to invest in the digital future of Turkey. We always evaluate new digital business models in markets with sustainable and high growth potential empowering innovation to create distinctive competitive advantage.

Vision

Our goal is to find next growth domains for iLab Ventures by identifying emerging trends, technologies, concepts and geographies where there is potential to replicate our successful investment and scale-up our track-record.

Diligent Investment Strategy

We help founders and companies in quickly scaling their businesses and moving to market leader positions. We not only invest in companies, but we also operationally help them in accelerating their growth towards delivering their visions.

We empower founders with sufficient liberated and flexible engagement structures as per need.

We provide support both as an operator and investor, from early to late stage, minority/majority, in markets with long-term growth potential, and room for disruption.

Our sole purpose is to support founders in delivering their vision for innovation and growth.

We go beyond financing to provide operational know-how and playbook on digital businesses.

Leveraging our scale, our invested companies can access essential resources, tools and technology beyond their individual reach.

Our center of excellence helps founders access strategic and operational expertise or resources until they build their own.

We are uniquely positioned to be the preferred partner for founders as the only investor-operator in Turkish market and one of the few globally.

We can accommodate long-term vision with continuous financing as we invest off our balance sheet instead of operating with time-bound funds of third parties.

Acceleration with Expertise

Maintaining right balance between efforts on go-to-market & building operational, strategic and expert capacity is always a challenge for growing businesses. Therefore, we help our partners through our “Excellence Center Program” designed to serve their strategic and operational needs until they build their own.
