Established in 2013, Revo Capital is Türkiye’s pioneering and largest technology-focused venture capital firm, backing globally ambitious startups founded by Turkish entrepreneurs and/or powered by R&D teams in Türkiye. Revo has raised over $250 million across three funds and is currently investing from Fund III, which reached an $86 million first close and is targeting $100 million+. Revo has made 50 investments and achieved 18 exits to date. Since 2021, Revo-backed companies have attracted $3.5 billion in follow-on capital, with 92% coming from international investors, accounting for 54% of all venture capital raised by Turkish startups. Over the next 5 years, Fund III aims to invest in approximately 30 startups, deliberately concentrating capital where hands-on support and long-term partnership can have the greatest impact. The firm combines growth capital with deep operational involvement, supporting founders across product, go-to-market, hiring, and international expansion through a proven global headquarters and Turkish R&D model. With Fund III, Revo invests across fintech, B2B SaaS, cybersecurity and cloud, health tech, energy, and gaming, treating AI as a horizontal enabler across all sectors. Revo focuses on Series A and early Series B investments, typically writing $1–5 million initial checks and targeting meaningful minority ownership, with capacity for follow-on investments to support companies through global scale. In parallel, Fund III includes a dedicated Seed Pocket, making $250k pre-seed and seed investments to back exceptional founders earlier, build conviction, and secure pro-rata rights ahead of Series A. Revo Capital is one of the few globally oriented VC firms backed by leading Development Finance Institutions, including IFC, EBRD, KfW-DEG, and EIF, alongside a diversified base of institutional and strategic investors.

Hummingbird Ventures is an agile investor in entrepreneurial genius. We value emotional intelligence as much as data, growing internal culture as much as growing revenue, and forming strong, personal bonds with founders. Often the first institutional investor, we’ve helped start-ups scale from zero to category-defining multi-billion dollar businesses across 3 continents. We work best with outsiders who challenge industry boundaries and conventions, transforming tiny miracles into impactful companies. Hummingbird Ventures teamed up with transformative companies, including Deliveroo, Showpad, Kraken, Peak Games, Amplidata, Gram Games, Shutl, Merlin, Billiontoone and many others.
