212

212 is a venture capital firm originally established in 2012 and widely regarded as Türkiye’s first institutional VC fund, focused on investing in technology‑driven startups with a strong B2B orientation and global scaling potential. It operates across Türkiye, Central & Eastern Europe, and MENA, supporting founders with capital, strategic guidance, and access to its global network from hubs in Istanbul, London, Doha, Dubai, and San Francisco.
