Fast Company Türkiye published the first in‑depth interview about Oleka Capital, featuring our Managing Partner, Ilker Sozdinler, in the August/September 2025 issue. The piece explores why Türkiye graduates less than 5% of startups from Seed to Series A—despite talent and ambition—and how Oleka is building a bridge for scale‑ups to cross that gap.
Key points from the interview:
We invest at the level of leading global growth investors and partner with global powerhouses.
We back the most ambitious founders with more than capital—hands‑on operational, financial, and international expertise.
We maintain a concentrated portfolio where we can truly move the needle.
Our Investment Principles are public and serve as our corporate constitution—accountable and transparent to the ecosystem.
Türkiye is a bridge to 600 million consumers across an $8 trillion regional economy—an ideal testing ground for startups with global potential. As “Partners in Growth,” we deploy flexible capital and sleeves‑rolled‑up support to help founders expand at home and abroad.
