“We are proud of the everlasting support we received from our long-time LPs IFC and EBRD, and the interest from new long-term LPs EIF and DEG,” said Cenk Bayrakdar, Revo Capital’s Founding Partner . "The last decade was laying the foundation of our belief that providing capital and operational/growth support to fast-growing software and tech-enabled startups from Turkey, Eastern Europe and Baltics will help them become industry and global leaders. As the first fund investing in Turkish unicorn Getir, we have firsthand experienced how its success strengthened the Turkish startup ecosystem, motivating entrepreneurs as a role model to build global category-defining products and services. As Revo Capital, we invest in certain select verticals and the latest developments have proven us right about these verticals. We work hand in hand with entrepreneurs and look forward to continuing our proven investment strategy with Fund II.”
Revo Capital invests in Series A and B rounds of startups with a proven product-market fit and potential for global market disruption. Revo Capital's close relationship with its vast investment network enables easier access to capital for its portfolio companies as they scale up to overseas markets.

Revo Capital’s target verticals are fintech, SaaS, marketplaces, B2B cloud, Martech, Big Data and AI, and (as a new vertical for Fund II) Health IT. “The rapid pace of digitization in the last couple of years has brought these sectors into focus and we believe that they will see tremendous growth going forward,” Bayrakdar said.
The second fund continues the success of the first fund, which saw 6 profitable exits, among them many stars of the Turkish digital ecosystem such as Foriba, Paraşüt and Getir.
Raising its reputation among the leading investors in Turkey, Central and Eastern European regions thanks to the success of its second fund, Revo Capital will keep on utilizing its hands-on approach to create international funding opportunities in the follow-up rounds for its new investments. Cenk Bayrakdar added: "We are perfectly placed to act as a catalyst to accommodate the new wave of ambitious local founders who want to target global markets. Through our collaborative approach and international network, we can help bridge them to larger investors and open them up to capture growth opportunities globally."
