The Turkey Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Turkey 2024 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 4 companies were able to make it through.
Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of Turkey's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the Turkey program:
- HirinGames - A gamification-based online assessment platform that helps HR teams make better hiring decisions by combining engaging game mechanics with reliable candidate evaluation tools to boost employee happiness and company productivity.
- Outcomesy - An automated reporting dashboard that helps enterprise marketing teams improve media investment effectiveness by up to 30%, consolidating data from 30+ tools into clear, one-page reports for data-driven decisions and measurable ROI.
- Blockera Corp - A web3-powered real estate marketplace that democratizes property investment by tokenizing real-world assets, allowing Gen Z to build financial independence through affordable property shares, passive income, and accessible liquidity options.
- Being Love app - An app offering personalized and enjoyable meditation programs tailored for urban working women aged 28-40, empowering them to embrace their true selves, find love, and build fulfilling careers.
The Turkey 2024 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
