Investment thesis

APY Ventures is the umbrella brand of the Venture Capital Investment Funds (VCIFs) established by Albaraka Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş., focusing on investments in technology startups. Its mission is to 'support visionary founders and high-potential startups by making strategic investments aligned with their growth journey.' Under the APY Ventures umbrella, multiple VCIFs operate with distinct strategies across different sectors and stages, channelling the capital of qualified investors into 'high-growth-potential, technology and innovation-focused startups.' With a selective investment strategy, a hands-on working culture, and a founder-friendly approach, APY Ventures actively stands by entrepreneurs across the full startup lifecycle. The firm's broad sectoral focus spans fintech, gaming, cybersecurity, agri-tech, mobility, alternative energy, defense, industrial manufacturing, robotics, enterprise applications, and mobile applications—primarily targeting Turkey-based startups at pre-seed through growth stages, with some funds also enabling Turkish R&D and Technology Development Zone companies to fulfil their 3% statutory investment obligation through APY's funds.
