"Money earned in lira is worth 5–10× less than the same money inside a technology company. We close that gap."

TEAM500 · Istanbul · Dubai
01 · The fork

Your capital works. But it does not grow in value.

A factory, a retail chain, a development portfolio or an audience of millions – that is cash flow. But the market prices them on today's profit, not on the future. And that profit is in lira. A technology asset is valued differently – and that is where the difference begins.

01
Valuation hits a ceiling
A local business is worth 3–5 annual profits. No matter how much you invest, the multiple does not move – the local market's ceiling is fixed.
02
All in one basket & one currency
Lira volatility, currency risk, country risk, regulatory risk. One asset, one jurisdiction, one point of failure. Capital is not diversified.
03
Wealth races against inflation
As the lira weakens, the profit earned today buys less tomorrow. What you need is a hard-currency asset that is valued in dollars, not pegged to the exchange rate.
04
A legacy in question
The second & third generation do not want to run the factory or the channel. You need a transferable, liquid, global & modern asset.
02 · The shift

Same revenue. A different price.

The same income is worth fundamentally different amounts depending on how the asset is packaged. Trendyol, Getir & Hepsiburada proved it – an idea born in the Turkish market can be valued at billions of dollars.

We are not asking you to abandon what works. We build a digital layer on top of it that changes the asset class – & its price.

03 · The math

$1 billion is not a miracle, but a calculation

A $1B SaaS valuation needs around $100M ARR. Growing 2–3× a year, that is reachable in 5–7 years – if you build by methodology, not by guesswork.

$100M
target ARR for a $1B valuation
5–7
years to target capitalization with systematic growth

The difference between "trying" & "building" is a team, processes & a legal framework from day one.

06 · The model

Two roads to a digital asset

For magnates — Venture Builder
You are the LP: you fund & set the industry. We are the GP: we build the product & team. You are the majority owner; we vest a share against results.
For senior executives — Co-Founder
You bring industry knowledge & network: market, customers, trust. We bring product & technology. Together – an asset you can capitalize, not just manage.
"Leading the local market is renting. Owning a global product is ownership."

21 · Questions

Honest answers to uncomfortable questions

Why should a Turkish business owner digitize?+
A local business is valued on EBITDA at a 3–5× multiple; a technology asset on revenue at 10–30×. A digital layer multiplies value & creates dollar revenue beyond currency swings.
How do I hedge against lira volatility?+
An international structure on a Delaware C-Corp & a UAE/Cyprus bridge keeps your revenue in dollars, outside single-country & single-currency risk. The asset is valued in dollars.
I am not in tech. Is this for me?+
Yes. You enter not from a technical idea but from your asset – capital, business or market power. A ready team handles the technology.
Will you take over my business?+
No. Legally you are the majority owner with a blocking vote on the board. The partner’s share vests only against results: if we vanish, we lose future equity worth many times a monthly payment.
What if it does not take off?+
A Stop Loss applies: no growth – we halt the project & preserve the budget. The IP stays with you.
What is the minimum budget & when do we start?+
$300k–$500k for the first year (team, infrastructure, lawyers, MVP). The start follows a strategy session & signing a Term Sheet. Launch programs from $20,000 / mo.
Why now?+
AI lets you build products far faster & cheaper, global capital is flowing into IT assets & Turkey sits as a technology bridge between Europe & Asia. In three years the barrier to entry will be markedly higher.
